About Jaime

Jaime Askew is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and process trauma and abuse. Jaime aims to create an open space where clients can talk without judgment and begin working toward clearer goals.

She uses practical conversation and active listening to help people name what feels hardest. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills, and making choices that fit each person’s life. Jaime encourages small steps that add up to noticeable change.

Her work often addresses relationship strains, grief, intimacy concerns, and challenges around self-esteem and career stress. She also supports people navigating ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compulsive behaviors, and compassion fatigue. Jaime pays attention to how past losses or attachment wounds show up in day-to-day life.

People who reach out can expect a calm, respectful presence and straightforward feedback. Jaime aims to balance empathy with practical coaching so clients leave with tools they can try between sessions. The focus is on what helps now and what helps next.

Jaime practices in California and offers sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Jaime uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can take. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing, grounding, and pacing strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another strand centers on trauma-informed conversation that helps people make sense of painful experiences and practice new ways of responding when difficult memories or triggers arise.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaime works with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods as therapy progresses so interventions match what’s helping in real life.

The therapist biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better for a day. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations within the same state. Jaime and the client will decide together how often to meet and which format best supports the goals of therapy.
