How Jaime's approaches translate to online therapy
Jaime uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to strengthen their reasons for taking action. That approach focuses on open questions, reflective listening, and gentle goal-setting to build motivation.
She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This work helps people recognize how attachment shapes reactions and close connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to shift behavior and mood.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. Jaime will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
