About Jaime
Jaime Darda is an LCSW-C (Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical) licensed in Maryland with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, and related life challenges. Jaime focuses on clear, practical work rather than jargon. She uses everyday language to talk through problems and plans small steps forward.
She keeps sessions direct and goal-oriented while staying person-centered. Jaime uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are woven in to help with stress, sleeping, and concentration.
Her background includes working across mood disorders, grief, and trauma-related concerns. Jaime also addresses attachment and abandonment themes, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, and challenges that come after separation or major life change. She notes experience with LGBT issues and with people coping with co-occurring difficulties such as addiction and chronic pain.
Sessions aim to be straightforward: name the problem, try manageable changes, and review what helps. Jaime invites practical experiments between sessions, like small behavior changes or brief mindfulness practices. Progress is tracked in simple steps so people can see what changes actually make life easier.
People considering work with Jaime are encouraged to review session options and follow the site process to schedule an initial meeting. She offers services in English and accepts international clients.
How sessions work
How Jaime uses approaches and online sessions
Jaime commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques in her work. Client-Centered Therapy involves listening, reflecting, and prioritizing what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and to clarify goals. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what improves mood or reduces anger. Mindfulness teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and to steady focus.Deciding which mix of methods to use is part of the work. Jaime treats the choice as collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps and what feels manageable.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. They also allow people to use visual or audio sessions depending on their comfort and bandwidth. Jaime and each client agree on practical arrangements at the start so sessions fit into everyday life.
