Jaime Darda, LCSW-C

Jaime Darda is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, bipolar challenges, and life transitions. Jaime aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and humane for people who are unsure where to begin.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through what feels overwhelming. Jaime listens closely and helps people name problems and priorities. Sessions focus on practical steps the client can try between meetings, alongside time to process emotions.

Her background includes working with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver burden, cancer challenges, and loss related to separation or divorce.

Jaime integrates approaches that match each person’s needs. That might mean clear, goal-focused techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, mindfulness exercises to calm intense feelings, or using relationship tools when communication is strained. She tailors the pace and focus to what a person wants to achieve.

People who choose Jaime often want straightforward, compassionate guidance and tools to manage daily life. She works collaboratively to set realistic goals and to track small gains over time.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and supports them in choosing the changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical tools to change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaime will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different ideas. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography did not list which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. They also let people try techniques in real-life settings and bring immediate concerns to the session for problem solving.
