About Jaime
Jaime Grunfeld is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience based in New York. He works with people facing anger, anxiety, stress, depression, and life changes. He also addresses relationship, parenting, addiction, and sexual concerns, and supports issues linked to grief, trauma, and identity.
Jaime uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. He listens for feelings and background stories that affect current behavior. That can help people recognize why anger or shame shows up and how to respond differently.
He also draws on solution-focused methods to build concrete changes fast. Those techniques are goal-oriented and practical. They help people test small shifts that reduce friction at work or at home.
Sessions involve straightforward talk about what brings stress, resentment, or recurring conflict. Jaime helps people notice triggers, practice different responses, and try manageable experiments between sessions. He uses plain language and a direct style that keeps the work practical.
Jaime speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese. He works with a wide range of life concerns including career questions, identity and multicultural stressors, fatherhood issues, and midlife transitions. For people struggling with anger or feeling stuck, he helps untangle the emotional build-up and find clearer ways to act.
How psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches work online
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring feelings and relationship patterns that shape how someone reacts, including anger and resentment. Online sessions let the therapist and client name those patterns and track how they appear in daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on concrete steps and small experiments to change behavior quickly, which can be helpful for workplace frustration or heated moments at home.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels useful, trying a few techniques, and adjusting the plan as the client notices what helps.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what is offered for you. Online work can fit more easily into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or reduce travel time for people balancing work and family. It also makes it possible to keep continuity when life or travel interrupts in-person care. Ask about languages and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your routine and needs.
