About Jaime

Jaime Askew is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, licensed in California with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people deal with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. Jaime communicates in plain terms and focuses on practical steps people can use at home and at work.

Jaime listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. She works with people to name feelings, notice triggers, and try manageable changes. Sessions include straightforward conversation and skills practice so clients can apply what they learn between meetings.

Many people come for anger, grief, intimacy concerns, or struggles with sleep and eating. Others seek help for parenting strain, career stress, ADHD challenges, or compassion fatigue. Jaime also addresses identity and relationship questions that affect emotional wellbeing.

Her background includes long experience across clinical settings in California. That breadth shapes a pragmatic approach - the work is about what helps in daily life, not about jargon. Jaime draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the process.

New clients are invited to clarify goals and try short, actionable experiments in session. Progress is measured by clearer choices, fewer reactive moments, and improved coping with life changes. Jaime keeps sessions focused and practical so clients leave with next steps they can use immediately.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Jaime uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide most of her work. One common approach focuses on identifying triggers and building practical coping skills. That method helps people notice what leads to angry or anxious reactions and practice different responses over time. Another approach emphasizes talking through relationship patterns and improving communication skills to reduce recurring conflicts and misunderstandings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jaime collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She helps set clear targets, tries brief experiments, and adjusts strategies based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to check in during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth is limited or a simpler update is needed. Jaime aims to help clients apply skills between meetings so therapy can fit into ordinary routines.
