Approach-Oriented Online Therapy and Practical Skills



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress. Sessions often include skill-building exercises and structured techniques to practice between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship strain. Narrative Therapy explores how personal stories shape experience and helps people reframe challenges to find new meaning and options.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Jaime works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the chosen strategies fit each person's life and priorities.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and fit therapy into everyday routines while working with licensed professionals.
