About Jaime

Jaime Barilla is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping parents and individuals who are juggling many roles and feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or parenting challenges. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at practical steps parents can use right away.

She uses a person-centered stance that starts by meeting clients where they are. Jaime listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals together.

Background and approach

Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on what matters most in day-to-day life. Jaime draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas for emotion regulation and motivational interviewing to help with ambivalence and change.

These tools are adapted to each person's situation and parenting concerns. Her background includes in-home and office-based counseling across many age groups and situations. She has experience addressing parenting stress, child behavioral concerns, parent-child conflict, trauma and grief, infertility-related stress, and life transitions.

Jaime also runs a company that provides in-home services for high-risk children and families. Therapy with Jaime is practical and collaborative. She aims to make sessions feel approachable and useful, so parents can try new strategies between visits.

For those looking for steady guidance through difficult times, she offers straightforward support and skill-building.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online support for parents

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and allows clients to lead the direction of work. It helps parents describe what feels most urgent and decide which goals matter most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and parenting stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete tools for regulating intense emotions and improving communication during family conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that match goals, preferences, and the situation at hand. That choice is revisited as progress is made so methods can be adapted over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in between appointments. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, worksheets, or staying connected between scheduled sessions. These formats increase flexibility for parents balancing work, caregiving, and appointments while still accessing consistent therapeutic support.
