About Jaime
Jaime Barilla is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. Jaime also supports people facing grief, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and major life changes.
Jaime frames sessions around what each person brings in the moment. She uses a person-centered stance and invites clients to steer the work. That means conversations focus on the problems that feel most pressing, whether that's ongoing family conflict or current parenting strain.
Her work draws on practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach tools for emotion regulation and clearer thinking. She also integrates elements of emotionally-focused therapy to look at relationship patterns and motivational interviewing to help with readiness for change. These methods are used to build skills people can use between sessions.
Jaime has experience providing in-home and office-based counseling to children, adolescents, and adults, and has led clinicians who deliver in-home services for high-risk children and families. That background informs how she thinks about family roles, communication, and behavioral challenges.
In sessions she aims to be personable and straightforward. Together she and the client set concrete goals and identify steps to reach them. People who come to her often want help reducing daily stress, resolving family conflict, or learning practical coping strategies.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in New Jersey. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and formats before booking.
How Jaime Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Jaime often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means the client’s concerns lead the session and the therapist listens and reflects to clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments. CBT tools are commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques teach concrete strategies to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behaviors, which can be helpful for people struggling with anger or self-injury urges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaime will discuss options and try techniques that match a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly about what is working and adjusts the focus as sessions progress.
The biography notes past in-home and office-based work but does not list current online formats. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid video when bandwidth is low. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills to work usefully in remote sessions.
