About Jaime
Jaime Askew is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and anger. Jaime practices in California and offers care in English.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She creates room for people to speak about difficult feelings and events without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on identifying what leads to strong reactions, building clearer communication, and finding manageable ways to change daily patterns.
Jaime draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce distress and handle life’s pressures. She supports clients in addressing grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and shifts tied to major life changes. She also works with people affected by trauma, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD.
In meetings she encourages practical skill-building. That can include emotion regulation tools, strategies for navigating difficult conversations, and steps to curb addictive patterns. She also helps clients notice unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer choices.
Her broader focus includes compassion fatigue, codependency, body image, blended family dynamics, and recovery after divorce or separation. Jaime aims to help people make steady, realistic changes that fit their daily lives.
How sessions work
How Jaime Uses Evidence-Based Work Online
Jaime uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based emotion regulation work that teaches concrete ways to reduce intense reactions, manage anger, and handle anxiety in daily life. This helps when someone snaps at loved ones or feels overwhelm at work.Another frequent thread is trauma-informed care that helps people process past hurts and reduce their hold on present behavior. This involves paced discussions and grounding strategies to make difficult memories more manageable, and it can reduce compulsive or avoidant responses.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. Jaime collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and situation. She adjusts direction based on progress, preferences, and what feels practical for the client.
