About Jaime
Jaime Grunfeld uses psychodynamic and solution-focused therapy to help people regain energy and clarity. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and also holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. He works from New York and speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Jaime begins by listening to what feels drained or stuck. He helps clients name patterns from the past that still affect daily life. Sessions often include exploring feelings and practical steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic work looks at long-running emotions and relationships. That approach can help when grief, trauma, low mood, or confusion keep coming back. Solution-focused work zeroes in on immediate goals and small changes that make a difference quickly.
Over 17 years Jaime has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He also addresses issues like addiction, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career uncertainty. Additional focuses include family of origin issues, guilt and shame, immigration concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions may involve talking about emotional patterns and trying short, concrete experiments outside the session. Communication happens in the language the client prefers and adapts to each person’s pace. Jaime helps people find a clearer path forward and build more satisfying daily life.
How psychodynamic and solution-focused work online
Psychodynamic therapy draws attention to recurring feelings and relationship patterns. Online sessions let clients talk about past and present experiences and notice how those patterns show up now. This approach can be useful for persistent sadness, grief, identity questions, and reactions rooted in earlier relationships.Solution-focused therapy centers on clear, short-term goals and small experiments. In remote sessions the therapist and client set concrete steps to try between meetings and check progress. This method often helps with stress management, sleep routines, coping during life changes, and practical problems like career decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime will collaborate with each person to choose which method or mix of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and new concerns emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, try brief skill-focused exchanges during a work break, or keep in touch between longer appointments.
