About Jaime
Jaime Grunfeld uses a psychodynamic and solution-focused approach to help people untangle overwhelming emotions and regain a sense of direction. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, holding LMHC and LPC credentials, and brings 17 years of clinical experience to sessions in New York. Jaime speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese and works with people facing a wide range of life challenges.
He helps people cope with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood disorders by looking at recurring patterns and practical steps forward.
Background and approach
For someone feeling stuck after loss, trauma, or big life changes, he combines attention to underlying feelings with clear goals. That mix aims to reduce distress and increase daily functioning. Jaime also addresses relationship, intimacy, and sexuality concerns as well as parenting and fatherhood issues.
He supports people dealing with addiction, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include identity and multicultural concerns, family of origin problems, and questions about life purpose. Sessions often move between exploring how past experiences shape current feelings and setting short-term, achievable goals.
This balance lets clients notice patterns and try new ways of relating and coping. Jaime frames therapy as a collaborative effort where insight and practical steps work together. People can expect direct conversation and concrete strategies alongside deeper reflection.
He is available to work with international clients and offers multiple communication formats to suit different needs.
How psychodynamic and solution-focused work online
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and recurring patterns shape current feelings and relationships. Online sessions let clients reflect on those patterns while still keeping therapy focused on emotions, memories, and what repeats in daily life.Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and clearer short-term goals. In remote sessions this approach can produce quick, practical changes like new coping strategies, improved sleep routines, or clearer communication habits you can try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jaime will collaborate with each person to decide whether more insight, more concrete steps, or a blend of both will best meet their needs and goals. Together they set priorities and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or mobility is limited, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support. Those choices make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care. Licensed professionals can adapt methods and homework to suit each communication format and daily life constraints.
