About Jaime

Jaime Barilla is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in New Jersey with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, depression, grief, anger, and relationship concerns. Jaime describes practical, down-to-earth support aimed at making small changes that help in day-to-day life.

She has worked in homes and offices with children, adolescents, and adults. That background includes supporting parents with child behavior challenges, parent-child conflict, and blended family issues. Jaime also has experience with infertility stress, self-injurious behaviors, and problems that come from major life transitions.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods so the client helps set the pace and direction of treatment. Jaime blends several evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to address specific problems and practical skills.

Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and developing clearer ways to communicate in relationships. She also incorporates trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral tools and mindfulness skills when they fit a client’s goals. The goal is steady, concrete progress rather than quick fixes.

Jaime runs a team that provides in-home services for high-risk children and families, and she has spent many years offering direct clinical care across age groups. She conducts work in English and practices in New Jersey.

How Jaime blends structured methods for online work

Jaime uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include setting clear goals, tracking thoughts and behaviors between meetings, and trying short experiments to see what changes. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so treatment fits the person’s concerns and pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides a set of concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication in relationships.

Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work itself. Jaime will discuss goals and preferences with the client and suggest which approaches to start with. That collaborative planning helps pick techniques that fit the situation, whether the focus is mood, parenting strategies, trauma processing, or relationship communication.

The exact session formats Jaime offers are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and support clients who prefer not to travel to an office. Jaime can help design a practical plan that fits daily routines while using CBT and skills-based tools to address the client’s main concerns.
