About Jaime
Jaime Darda is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and a wide range of life and relationship concerns. Jaime uses straightforward talk and practical strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening. Jaime also draws on mindfulness practices, solution-focused planning, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship-related concerns. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long explanations.
Jaime often works with people facing complex, overlapping problems such as addiction, ADHD, chronic health conditions, and caregiver stress. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and career or parenting strain. When trauma or grief is part of the picture, she uses trauma-focused techniques alongside practical coping tools.
In sessions Jaime helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. She offers short exercises, homework, and concrete skills to practice between meetings. Clients leave with specific strategies they can use in everyday situations.
Her style is direct and goal-oriented. Jaime supports clients in setting realistic targets and tracking progress. To begin she asks people to describe the problems that matter most and to set the first small steps toward change.
How CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness translate to online care
Jaime integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, and mindfulness into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through short, practical exercises. Client-centered work emphasizes being listened to and having the therapist reflect what is most important to the client. Mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactive patterns.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. Jaime works collaboratively to choose strategies based on a person's goals, current challenges, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or obstacles appear.
