About Jaime

Jaime Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting, and depression. Jaime uses clear, direct conversation to help people figure out what matters most and take concrete steps forward.

She describes her style as straightforward and honest. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect focused talk about specific problems, real-world strategies, and follow-through on agreed steps between appointments.

Jaime works with trauma-related concerns such as post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and effects of domestic violence. She also addresses family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment worries, grief around adoption or foster care, and caregiver stress. Communication problems, control issues, and codependency are part of her caseload as well.

Her clinical approaches include attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior techniques, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. In session she explains how these methods might fit a person's situation and uses them to build skills, process difficult memories, and reduce distress.

People who prefer direct feedback and clear goals tend to fit her style. Jaime helps clients set realistic steps and track progress over time. To begin, she asks about current priorities and creates simple, actionable plans for the work ahead.

BHow sessions work

Approaches Jaime Uses and how they fit online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early attachments shape reactions to stress and helps people change interaction patterns that cause repeated hurt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depression. EMDR, when used, guides processing of distressing memories through structured bilateral stimulation and can reduce the emotional charge tied to trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime treats selection of methods as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how intense past experiences have been, then recommend strategies to try and adjust them over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness or DBT skill practices during the week and bring in real-life examples directly from day-to-day routines. If you prefer to discuss which method and session format suit your life, Jaime will address that during the initial scheduling steps.
