About Jaime
Jaime Pitingaro is a licensed social worker in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Jaime says the first step is often the hardest, and she aims to make that step feel supported and clear.
She draws on methods that help people change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills for managing intense emotions, strategies to reduce anxiety, and stories that make sense of difficult experiences. Jaime adapts the pace and focus to what each person needs in the moment. Jaime has eight years of practice as a clinician and holds an MA LICSW and a New York LCSW.
Her background includes work with trauma, mood disorders, and issues related to identity and relationships. She uses straightforward language and concrete tools rather than jargon. People come to Jaime for help with depression, panic, grief, and parenting stress, and for support related to LGBT concerns.
She also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life changes such as pregnancy or adoption challenges. Conversations routinely include problem-solving, emotion-regulation skills, and examination of personal narratives. Jaime offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
She tailors session types to fit someone’s routine and needs, and she helps people pick approaches that fit their goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and managing strong emotions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, panic, and everyday worry by teaching clear steps to change thinking and behavior.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when anger, impulsivity, or strong mood swings make life harder.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their problems. By separating the person from the problem, it helps people rewrite those stories in ways that reflect their values and strengths.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will adapt techniques as therapy progresses. This collaborative process helps decide whether to prioritize skills training, emotion regulation, or narrative change.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it possible to fit therapy into busy days. Video is useful for fuller dialogue and exercises, phone calls work well with limited bandwidth or when movement is needed, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging can provide ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match a person's schedule and needs.
