About Jaimee
Dr. Jaimee Hartman is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, person-focused work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and grief. Her approach aims to make conversations straightforward and respectful so people feel heard when they first reach out.
Dr. Hartman uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions include clear discussion about goals and small steps people can try between meetings.
She supports concerns around self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, anger, and communication problems. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, first responder challenges, and hospice or end-of-life counseling. This range means she often helps people facing strong emotions tied to life transitions.
Her style is warm and direct. She adjusts the conversation and treatment plan to fit individual needs, and she emphasizes practical strategies alongside listening. People who start therapy with her can expect collaborative goal-setting and concrete skills to practice outside sessions.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. The initial matching process asks a few questions to help connect people with the right fit and schedule the first appointment.
How Client-Centered and CBT Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist provides empathy and responds to what matters most to the client, helping them set goals at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to help people shift unhelpful habits and feel more in control of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try approaches that match those needs. Decisions about which methods to use are made collaboratively and can change over time based on what is working.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
