About Jaime
Jaime Darda is a licensed clinician with an MD and a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) credential and ten years of experience in behavioral health. She focuses on real problems people bring into sessions, like stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Jaime keeps language plain and direct so visitors can quickly understand what to expect.
Her approach starts with listening. Jaime creates a calm space where people can talk through upsetting thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
She encourages small, practical steps so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming. Jaime uses a mix of strategies to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on client-centered practices to follow the client's pace.
Mindfulness tools and solution-focused techniques are added when they fit the goals of the work. She also pays attention to overlapping issues such as sleep, eating, addiction, and caregiver stress. That helps when problems are tied together or when someone is juggling health, family, or career demands.
People often come in feeling stuck after loss, trauma, or a big life change. Jaime works with them to build clearer routines, stronger coping skills, and steadier emotional responses. Her style is steady, practical, and supportive for the steps people want to take.
Approach and Online Care Together
Jaime often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means she follows the person's priorities and listens closely so the work matches what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to build practical skills for anxiety, mood shifts, and everyday stress.She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Solution-focused techniques keep sessions focused on concrete next steps and measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jaime will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, tolerance for different techniques, and life demands. She checks in and adapts the plan as progress or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and travel.
