About Jaime
Jaime Askew is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of experience practicing in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and relationship concerns. Jaime aims to make the first step toward change feel doable and supported.
She builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long theory. Jaime prioritizes listening closely and helping people notice small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Her background includes working with grief, depression, sexual and intimacy-related issues, and career stresses. She also addresses concerns such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image, and coping with life changes. Jaime draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work.
Clients often bring complex histories like trauma, attachment questions, adoption and foster care issues, or neurodiversity-related concerns. Jaime supports people through these challenges while keeping sessions focused and practical. She helps clients develop new routines, communication habits, and coping plans.
For those dealing with phobias, Jaime helps break overwhelming situations into smaller, manageable steps. She works with each person to find realistic exposures and ways to reduce avoidance over time. Her approach aims to restore confidence and function in day-to-day life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jaime relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people face fears in small, manageable steps so phobias and avoidance become less limiting. Another method teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing, and behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime treats therapy as a collaboration - she listens, tests what helps, and adjusts the plan to fit each person’s goals and daily life. Together the therapist and client choose methods that feel realistic and sustainable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text messaging offer quick access between sessions and can help track progress or keep momentum. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay consistent with their work.
