About Jaime

Jaime Barilla, LPC, helps people who are juggling stress, parenting demands, relationship strain, and big life changes. She focuses on the everyday problems that wear people down - anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and family conflict. Jaime writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is overwhelmed.

She draws on 13 years of clinical experience working in homes and offices with children, adolescents, adults, and families. That background includes supporting people facing child behavioral issues, parent-child conflict, infertility-related stress, self-injurious behaviors, and trauma. Jaime also runs a company that provides in-home counseling to high-risk children and families.

Her approach starts with a person-centered attitude. She meets people where they are and follows the issues they bring up. From there she introduces practical strategies based on what a person needs and prefers.

Techniques Jaime commonly uses include cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and mindfulness exercises. She adapts these tools to daily life so clients can try things between sessions and notice change.

Her style is warm, engaging, and down-to-earth. She works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and to track progress. Jaime aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative, practical process rather than a series of lectures.

How Jaime’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space for clients to describe their priorities and then shapes sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete skills to change patterns of behavior and mood. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and coping with crisis moments.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jaime will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust them as progress is tracked. This keeps therapy focused and relevant to daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when life gets hectic. Different approaches can be adapted to remote sessions through brief skill practice, homework between meetings, and focused conversations that aim for tangible changes.
