About Jaime
Jaime Darda is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and a wide range of life challenges including anger and relationship concerns.
She uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. Jaime listens first, then works with each person to set goals and try methods that fit their situation. She draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Jaime also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to support coping and moment-to-moment regulation. For relationship concerns she may bring in ideas from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce recurring fights. Sessions mix reflection, skill practice, and planning for real situations outside therapy.
Her work addresses common problems such as sleep and eating struggles, ADHD symptoms, substance use concerns, career stress, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing complex issues like attachment wounds, chronic illness, bereavement, and separation.
People who come to Jaime often want clear steps they can use between sessions. She aims for concrete strategies that help manage anger, calm anxiety, and rebuild trust in relationships. To start, she asks about current struggles, what has helped before, and what short-term goals feel most useful.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits
Jaime uses client-centered work to prioritize each person's concerns and to shape sessions around what matters most to them. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying goals, and offering options rather than imposing a plan.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her practice and helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and anger that shows up in predictable patterns.
She also draws on mindfulness practice to build awareness of bodily signals and emotional shifts, and on the Gottman Method for relationship communication skills when relevant. These methods are aimed at practical changes someone can try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach happens together. Jaime will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest a mix of methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan as progress is seen or priorities change.
