About Jaime
Jaime Darda is a licensed clinician with an MD and a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) credential and about 10 years of experience. She practices in Maryland and supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and anger. Jaime aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable and straightforward.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels hard. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
Jaime listens closely and helps set clear, doable goals for change. Her work blends practical tools with empathy. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's needs.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage stress and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Jaime also draws on Solution-Focused strategies to identify small changes that lead to quick improvement. When relationship concerns arise, Gottman Method ideas shape conversations about communication and connection.
These methods are used together to match each person's situation and goals. People come to Jaime for many reasons including sleep or eating problems, attention difficulties, addiction challenges, parenting stress, and career concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma, chronic illness, or major life changes.
Sessions are practical, steady, and aimed at helping people move forward at their own pace.

How Jaime’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around the person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, validates their experience, and helps set goals that make sense for their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, anger, and sleep issues. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to build awareness, reduce automatic reactions, and manage stress in the moment.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaime will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made. This keeps therapy focused and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual cues help. Phone sessions can fit a short break during the day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text make it easier to check in between sessions or to use brief, focused exercises during a busy week. These options add flexibility so therapy can match a person's schedule and communication style.
