About Jaime

Jaime Askew is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 24 years of professional experience in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Jaime emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental approach that supports people taking their first steps toward change.

She creates a space where clients can talk about hard things and name what matters to them. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical steps.

Background and approach

Jaime helps people build coping skills for mood changes, sleeping and eating struggles, and life transitions. Jaime also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, and compassion fatigue. She works with clients on communication problems, codependency, and self-esteem issues.

Her practice addresses concerns related to ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and sexual health topics such as BDSM and alternative sex culture. People who come for parenting-related help will find guidance on managing stress, routines, and the emotional strain that comes with caregiving. Jaime offers coaching-style support alongside therapy to set goals and try new strategies.

Sessions are intended to feel collaborative and down-to-earth. Jaime aims to help clients leave with clearer next steps, better coping tools, and a plan they can try between sessions.

What Jaime works with

Everything Jaime lists, in the therapist's own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Jaime helps people with.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Jaime uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. One approach emphasizes building coping skills for stress and anxiety by teaching brief strategies for managing worry, improving sleep, and calming strong emotions. This style helps people handle day-to-day pressures and regain steadier moods.

Another approach centers on processing trauma and abuse through paced, supportive conversations that let clients make sense of difficult experiences and develop safer ways of relating. This work aims to reduce overwhelm and strengthen emotional regulation over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jaime treats it as a collaboration. She will ask about your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the work together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and deeper conversations, phone calls can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging lets people share updates between meetings or check in when a quick touchpoint helps. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
