About Jaime
Jaime Barilla, LPC, focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and family conflict. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. Jaime speaks plainly and helps clients sort through immediate problems so they can feel steadier in daily life.
She draws on 13 years of experience providing counseling in both office and in-home settings. That background includes work with children, adolescents, and adults on topics such as behavioral issues, parent-child conflict, depression, self-injury, infertility stress, and trauma. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Jaime uses a person-centered way of working, meeting people where they are and following their priorities in sessions. She combines that with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when people want short-term, goal-oriented work.
Her style is warm, engaging, and down-to-earth. Sessions emphasize collaboration to identify clear goals and steps that fit each person's life. Jaime seeks to create a respectful space where people can try new ways of handling stress, relationships, and parenting challenges.
She runs a practice in New Jersey and has provided in-home services through a company she owns. Sessions are conducted in English and Jaime holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC.
How Jaime's approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist asks about immediate concerns and shapes each meeting around the client's goals and pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT techniques online often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be taught and practiced during remote sessions and then used in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor session content and homework so the work feels relevant and doable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter meeting is helpful. It also supports doing skill practice and homework in the environments where challenges occur. Talk with the therapist during intake to determine what session structure will work best for everyday life.
