About Jaime
Jaime Askew is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues. Jaime works with adults who notice patterns from their family of origin affecting current life.
She prefers straightforward conversations that name what feels hard and what someone wants to change. Sessions focus on identifying repeating patterns, improving communication skills, and building practical coping strategies for day-to-day life. Jaime aims to make room for honest discussion about difficult feelings without judgment.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in community and outpatient settings. Over two decades she has supported people struggling with depression, grief, self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns, as well as issues linked to ADHD, parenting stress, and career strain. This breadth of experience informs a practical approach in sessions.
Jaime pays attention to how early family roles and expectations continue to shape relationships and behavior. She helps people name those patterns and try different ways of acting in relationships. Conversations may include communication practice, setting boundaries, and coping skills for mood or anxiety symptoms.
For people dealing with adoption or foster care questions, abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, or identity issues related to LGBT experiences, Jaime brings years of experience listening and working through those themes. She also addresses caregiving stress, codependency, and recovery from separation or divorce.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on specific skills and measurable change. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving; these methods can suit anxiety, depression, and stress. Behavioral skill work focuses on practical steps like activity scheduling, sleep routines, and coping exercises that address mood, addictions, and daily functioning. Attachment-focused work looks at early family roles and expectations and how they show up in adult relationships. That type of focus can help people understand repeated patterns and practice new responses in their relationships. Jaime will work with a client to pick approaches that match their goals and concerns rather than using a single method for everyone. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client collaborate to test what helps most, adjust methods, and set short-term goals. That collaborative fitting helps keep sessions focused and practical. Confirm current session formats before booking, as format options were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss format preferences during the initial scheduling step to match session length and frequency to everyday life.Areas of expertise
