Jaime Pitingaro, LICSW, LCSW

Jaime Pitingaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, anger, bipolar disorder, life transitions, and ADHD. Jaime speaks English and practices in New York.

Jaime focuses on straightforward, practical conversation. Sessions look at current problems, patterns of thinking, and responses that keep problems going. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and narrative therapy to help people notice what’s happening and try new approaches.

In practice Jaime helps people break down overwhelming feelings into manageable steps. That can mean learning concrete coping skills, testing different ways of responding, or reworking the stories people tell about themselves. She pays attention to stress, mood, and impulsivity when these get in the way of day-to-day life.

People who want clear tools for managing anger or anxiety will find work that mixes skills training and talk. Jaime also addresses issues tied to identity, adoption and foster care, pregnancy and childbirth, and multicultural concerns. She considers family problems and parenting concerns from the perspective of the individual in therapy.

Her background supports a range of mood and behavioral concerns including panic, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and impulse-related difficulties. Jaime aims to help people move from reactive patterns toward more manageable ways of coping and relating.
