Online support options
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Jaime uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people change unhelpful patterns and manage distress. One approach emphasizes identifying problematic thoughts and testing them in daily life to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Another focuses on behavioral strategies - building routines for sleep and eating, managing cravings in addiction, and practicing concrete skills for emotion regulation and anger management.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Jaime will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or new issues appear.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face for deep conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, coaching between sessions, or shorter exchanges when a full session isn’t possible. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and keep therapy aligned with a person’s daily life.
