About Jaime

Jaime Grunfeld is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people regain balance when life feels overwhelming. He speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese and brings 17 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Jaime uses approaches rooted in psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused work. He listens for patterns that may be driving difficult feelings and helps people set small, practical goals to change day-to-day life. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people understand themselves and find workable steps forward.

People come to Jaime for many reasons including grief, trauma, burnout, issues with self-esteem, and struggles around identity and sexuality. He also addresses concerns such as parenting strain, career doubts, substance use, and problems tied to family of origin and immigration. Narcissism and personality-related struggles are listed among his focus areas when that concern is part of a person's story.

Jaime explains feelings plainly and helps people connect past experiences to current reactions. He balances looking at deeper emotional patterns with setting achievable short-term targets. That combination aims to reduce intense symptoms while building longer-term insight.

He works from New York and holds licenses as LMHC and LPC in the region. Prospective clients who prefer to communicate in Spanish or Portuguese can do so, and Jaime also accepts international clients who match on the platform and scheduling system.

How psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches work online

Psychodynamic ideas focus on how past relationships and repeated patterns shape current feelings. Online sessions can let a therapist gently uncover those patterns through regular conversation and reflection, helping a person understand why they react a certain way.

Solution-focused work centers on small, concrete changes that can be tried between sessions. This approach helps when someone wants quick, practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, such as sleep routines, coping steps for anxiety, or brief communication changes.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jaime will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they can try an approach and adjust it over time so therapy fits the person's needs and pace.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when life is busy, and let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while working toward their goals.
