Jaime Barilla , LPC

Jaime Barilla, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and parenting concerns. She combines in-home and office-based counseling to meet clients where they are, drawing on a background that includes working with high-risk children and families and operating a practice that provides in-home services for those in need.

Her approach is client-centered, meaning she follows each person's needs and preferences and involves clients in setting clear, achievable goals. Jaime uses a range of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and solution-focused counseling to tailor treatment to individual concerns such as child behavioral issues, family conflict, parent-child struggles, infertility stress, self-injurious behaviors, and mood or anxiety disorders.

Jaime's counseling style is warm, engaging, and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on respect and sensitivity. She collaborates with clients to identify priorities and practical steps forward, supporting them through life transitions and difficult emotions. Seeking help is a courageous step, and Jaime welcomes the opportunity to work alongside individuals and families as they move toward greater coping and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jaime Barilla draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client's priorities guide each session. This approach emphasizes understanding the person's current experience and working at a pace that feels right for them, which can be especially helpful for relationship, parenting, and family issues.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors related to anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy is another tool in her practice, offering skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jaime works together with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for flexibility in scheduling and make it easier to attend sessions from home or work. These formats provide accessible ways for clients to engage with licensed professionals and continue consistent care while balancing daily responsibilities.
