About Jaime
Jaime Barilla is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, grief, and relationship strain. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can name what feels most urgent and practical. Jaime aims for clear steps that fit everyday life, not long lists of jargon or tests.
She brings 13 years of experience offering both in-home and office-based counseling to children, adolescents, and adults. That work has included child behavior concerns, parent-child conflict, self-injury, depression, anxiety, infertility stress, and trauma. Jaime also runs a company that provides in-home services for high-risk children and families.
In sessions she uses a person-centered style, meeting clients where they are and following their lead on what to address. She blends straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior ideas with solution-focused planning and motivational interviewing. Emotional safety and respect are central to how she talks and plans next steps.
Jaime has additional focus areas that include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and coping with major life changes. She works with common issues like anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and family of origin problems.
Her manner is described as warm, engaging, and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on collaborative goal-setting. To begin, readers are encouraged to consider what outcome feels most important and bring that into the first conversation.
How Jaime’s approaches translate to online work
Jaime often draws on client-centered care and cognitive behavioral strategies when helping people make changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, creating space to name what matters most and set realistic goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches simple skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle everyday stress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jaime will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around school or work. Therapists can also use screen time for worksheets or practice skills between meetings. Ask about specific scheduling and format choices when you set up the first session to make sure they match your daily routine.
