About Jaime
Jaime Grunfeld uses psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches to help people regain balance in stressful times. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. Jaime writes and speaks in a direct, steady way that aims to calm anxious thinking and make next steps clearer.
He helps people who feel depleted by loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Sessions are practical and conversational.
Background and approach
Jaime listens for patterns in feelings and behavior, then works with each person to find realistic changes that fit their life. In psychodynamic work he pays attention to underlying emotions and long-standing patterns that shape how someone feels and reacts. That approach can help when problems repeat or when deeper sources of distress are unclear.
In solution-focused conversations he narrows in on concrete goals and small actions that can bring relief quickly. Jaime also offers support around parenting concerns, relationship struggles, substance issues, grief, identity and sexuality questions, and work or career stress. He speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese, which can be useful when cultural background affects how someone understands their difficulties.
People who choose Jaime can expect a mix of exploring deeper emotional roots and trying short-term steps to feel better. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort and focuses on finding what helps each person move forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on emotions and recurring patterns. In sessions, Jaime listens for repeated ways of thinking and feeling that influence how someone reacts to stress, relationships, or life changes. This approach can help when issues seem to come back again and again.Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what a person wants to change and on small, achievable steps. Conversations aim to identify specific goals and simple strategies to try between sessions, which can produce quick, practical progress for problems like stress, sleep, or parenting challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps someone feel better and function more easily.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video mimics an in-person conversation while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and a way to follow up between sessions. These options increase flexibility and let people pick what suits their schedule and comfort.
