About Jaime
Jaime Askew is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of experience working in California. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and mood concerns. Jaime creates a calm space where clients can talk about what matters to them without feeling judged.
She focuses on practical support that people can use each day. That includes talking through relationship and intimacy concerns, addressing sleep and eating patterns, and helping with career stress and self-esteem. Jaime also supports people coping with major life changes, including separation and bereavement.
People bring many kinds of challenges to sessions, from trauma and abuse to compassion fatigue and ADHD. Jaime has worked with a wide range of issues so she can adapt her approach to each person's needs. She pays attention to how life circumstances and identity affect mental health, including work with LGBT concerns and adoption or foster care histories.
Her style centers on listening first and then building practical steps together. Sessions emphasize skills and small changes that add up over time. Jaime encourages clients to set realistic goals and practices they can use outside sessions.
Clients who prefer straightforward guidance and steady support may find her approach helpful. She invites people to take the first step toward change and supports them as they try new ways of coping and relating.
Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Jaime uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make steady progress. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and routines to reduce anxiety and improve sleep; this involves practical strategies and short exercises to practice between sessions. Another approach centers on trauma-informed support, where the work helps people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable and reduces overwhelming reactions.Finding the right method is part of the process and she treats it as a collaboration. Jaime will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life demands, and then recommend ways of working together that fit those needs. The plan can be adjusted as progress proceeds and new issues come up.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. Online options can make it simpler to connect when travel is difficult or when someone needs a shorter check-in between in-person visits. Because session formats were not specified in the therapist's biography, please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
