About Jaime

Jaime Darda is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland who brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and sleeping problems. Jaime aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and clear for each person she meets.

Clients can expect a calm, open space to talk through difficult emotions and situations. Jaime listens closely and builds treatment around each person’s goals. She values straightforward conversation and practical tools that can be used between sessions.

Her background includes a decade of work addressing a wide range of concerns, including addiction, ADHD, relationship and intimacy questions, eating and self-esteem issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and coping with major life changes. Jaime also attends to attachment and abandonment themes when those come up in therapy.

Jaime uses approaches that encourage active participation. She draws on Client-Centered techniques to keep the work focused on the person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful patterns into concrete steps to try.

Sessions are guided by each person’s goals and pace. Jaime supports problem solving, boosts skills for everyday stress, and helps people think through sleep and routine changes that often impact mood and functioning. She encourages collaboration so progress fits real life.

How Jaime’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy is built around the person’s own goals and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens without judgment, reflects what she hears, and helps the client steer the work toward what they want to change. It is useful for people who need space to clarify feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress. Jaime can help break those patterns into small, testable steps you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep routines, or change coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That conversation often continues over the first few sessions as priorities and practical barriers become clearer.

If you plan to work online, please confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats were not listed in the profile. Many people choose remote sessions because they can fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Jaime aims to make sessions useful and practical so therapy fits into everyday life rather than adding extra strain.
