About Jaime
Jaime Grunfeld takes a psychodynamic and solution-focused approach to therapy. He centers on helping people notice patterns that sap their energy and then builds small, practical steps to shift those patterns. Jaime's style aims to restore interest in work, relationships, and daily life when emotions feel depleted.
Jaime is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in New York. He brings 17 years of experience to sessions and uses both longer-term exploration and goal-focused work depending on what a person needs. Sessions mix talking about past influences with concrete strategies for present concerns.
Clients come with a range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and grief. He also supports people facing career questions, identity and sexuality concerns, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. Jaime pays attention to family of origin issues, fatherhood questions, and cultural or immigration-related pressures that shape everyday life.
Work with him often involves naming recurring emotional patterns and testing small changes to see what feels different. Solution-focused moments are used to set specific, achievable goals. Psychodynamic work helps uncover underlying feelings that keep problems repeating.
He offers services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and accepts international clients. The first steps are a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button on the site.
How psychodynamic and solution-focused work translate to online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring feelings and relationships that shape present behavior. Online sessions can be a steady place to notice those patterns, name repeated emotional responses, and try new ways of relating to yourself and others. This approach can help when people feel depleted, stuck, or repeatedly pulled into the same difficult situations.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete changes and clear goals. In an online setting this often means setting measurable steps between sessions and checking progress during meetings. It can be useful for career decisions, sleep and daily routines, coping with stress, and short-term problem solving.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jaime will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to spend more time on exploration, on action steps, or a mix of both.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, offering shorter check-in options, and allowing work during a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, goal tracking, and reflective conversations to an online schedule so therapy fits everyday routines without promising any single format.
