04Online support
How Jaime’s Approaches Work Online
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on understanding recurring feelings and patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. Online sessions using this approach give space to reflect on what keeps showing up and why, which can help people change long-standing reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and clear goals. In online sessions this means setting simple experiments or tasks between meetings and checking what helps most.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaime will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide whether to emphasize insight, short-term problem solving, or a mix of both. The plan can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls work well for fuller conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions despite busy schedules or travel.
