About Jaime
Jaime Pitingaro is a licensed clinician in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. She works with issues related to trauma, LGBT matters, self-esteem, mood changes, and motivation. Jaime speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent or caregiver.
Jaime uses a flexible approach and tailors conversations to each person. Sessions focus on practical skills and small, workable changes you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She draws on methods that help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build stronger coping routines. Over eight years she has supported people through mood disorders, panic and post-traumatic stress, and the ups and downs of life transitions. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, gender dysphoria, intellectual disability, and multicultural concerns.
Jaime brings attention to safety, pacing, and clear goals when trauma has been part of someone's story. In sessions she often blends techniques from cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior ideas, and narrative approaches. That means she will help you identify unhelpful thinking, learn emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, and make sense of the stories you tell about yourself.
The work is collaborative and goal-focused. Jaime offers several formats for meeting, and she will help you pick what fits your schedule and needs. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as you work toward more confidence and balance.

How Jaime's Approaches Work Online
Jaime commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help manage strong emotions and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jaime works together with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in on what is and isn't working and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual connection helps build rapport, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
