About Jaime
Jaime Barilla greets visitors with a straightforward offer: help untangling stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, depression, and relationship pain. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience, she focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style is warm and down-to-earth so conversations feel natural and focused on real problems.
She emphasizes a client-centered way of working. Jaime follows each person’s lead and meets them where they are.
Background and approach
Together they set clear goals and decide which tools to try, from breathing and mindfulness to behavior-focused exercises. Jaime has provided in-home and office-based counseling across age groups and situations. That work has included child behavioral concerns, parenting challenges, parent-child conflict, and stress tied to life transitions.
She also has experience with trauma, infertility-related stress, self-injury, and mood problems such as depression and anxiety. Her practical toolkit draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, emotionally-focused methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She adapts those methods to each person’s needs and pace rather than following a rigid protocol.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Jaime helps people learn skills, test new ways of coping, and make clearer choices about relationships, work, and family roles. Her approach combines straightforward feedback with respectful listening.
Jaime practices in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English. She runs a practice that includes clinicians who provide in-home services, and she supports people facing a wide range of life stressors and transitions.
Practical approaches for online sessions
Jaime often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work means she follows the person’s lead and focuses on what feels most urgent. This helps when someone wants to talk through parenting strain, relationship struggles, or stress from life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation or intense reactions are a concern. DBT provides concrete skills for managing strong feelings and improving communication during heated moments. Jaime treats approach selection as a collaboration - she will review options with the client and choose techniques that match their goals, pace, and preferences rather than insisting on one method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send shorter updates or get brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
