About Jaime
Jaime Grunfeld is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who uses depth and practical focus in therapy. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. He speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and practices from New York with 17 years of clinical experience.
Jaime believes strong emotions can drain a person's ability to enjoy work and relationships. He helps people notice what is getting in the way and name the patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aim to restore energy for daily life. His background blends psychodynamic ideas with solution-focused work. That means he pays attention to past patterns and current goals at the same time.
Clients often move between examining underlying feelings and trying small, doable changes between sessions. People come to him for a range of concerns, from grief and trauma to parenting stress, addictions, issues around sexuality and LGBT concerns, and career questions. He also supports people facing shame, emptiness, or family of origin problems.
Jaime frames problems plainly and helps people set short-term steps toward clearer choices. He describes therapy as a collaborative process. Together with each person he clarifies goals, tracks progress, and adjusts the focus as needs change.
Practical tools and emotional insight are both part of the work.

How psychodynamic and solution-focused work online
Jaime draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people notice recurring feelings and patterns that shape their reactions. Online sessions give space to reflect on how past experiences influence current behavior and relationships, helping people make different choices over time.He also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on clear, short-term goals. In these brief, practical moments the therapist and client identify specific steps to try between sessions, measure small changes, and adjust plans if something isn’t working.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jaime collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in regularly and switches emphasis as progress and circumstances change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide ongoing connection, quick reflections, and ways to track ideas between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting into everyday life.
