About Jaime

Jaime Askew is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with 24 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, and navigate trauma and abuse. Jaime creates a straightforward space where people can speak about hard things without judgment.

Her approach centers on clear, practical steps. Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause pain and build small changes that fit daily life.

Background and approach

She listens for what matters to each person and helps set manageable goals. Jaime also supports work on mood concerns such as depression and bipolar challenges. She helps with grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

For people dealing with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, or sexual identity concerns, she offers a calm, open-minded presence. Her background includes long-term clinical practice across varied settings, giving her experience with adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, and aging concerns. She is familiar with conditions like ADHD, autism spectrum traits, and personality-related difficulties.

Sessions may include direct coaching, problem-solving, and skill practice aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. Jaime emphasizes collaboration and practical tools so progress can be felt between appointments.

Approaches and Online Care for Practical Change

Jaime uses evidence-based techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach she uses involves skills training for managing stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and routine-based strategies to reduce overwhelm. These tools help people cope when emotions spike and make daily life easier.

She also draws on trauma-informed methods that help people talk about difficult events at a pace that feels safe. This work focuses on reducing triggers, improving sleep and eating patterns, and building trust in the therapeutic relationship. For patterns tied to mood or addiction, she uses structured problem-solving and behavioral strategies to replace harmful habits with healthier alternatives.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaime will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide which methods match the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions reduce travel needs, and live chat or text-based messaging provide short-term check-ins and support between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while continuing focused, practical work.
