About Jaime
Jaime Pitingaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting strain, and anger. She also supports people facing mood disorders, trauma, and questions related to LGBT identity.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and clear conversation rather than jargon. Jaime uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to help people notice patterns, manage impulses, and change unhelpful thinking. She helps clients build steps they can use between sessions.
Jaime adapts what happens in sessions to each person's situation. That can mean working on coping tools, learning ways to calm immediate reactions, or looking at past experiences that shape current behavior. She also addresses parenting concerns and the stresses that come with life changes.
She has experience with adoption and foster care issues, gender dysphoria concerns, multicultural considerations, and mood conditions including bipolar disorder and seasonal mood change. Jaime also works with people managing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm thoughts by focusing on concrete strategies and safety planning when needed.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in New York. Before booking, people are encouraged to check the current session options and the matching process for scheduling an initial appointment.
How Jaime uses CBT, DBT, and narrative work online
Jaime draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns that fuel anger. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and reacting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used to teach short-term coping skills for intense emotions, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation techniques that can be practiced between sessions. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. That approach helps separate a person from a problem and gives room to reframe experiences that contribute to anger. Together these methods give both immediate tools and a longer view of how patterns formed. Finding the right mix is part of the work. Jaime will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that match their goals, daily life, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what is helpful. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and offer choices in how to connect. Different formats can also support shorter check-ins or longer skill-practice sessions depending on what the client needs.Areas of expertise
