About Jeremee
Jeremee (Mimi) Bouchard is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 15 years of experience to her work in California. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels hard and begin to make sense of their emotions. Mimi aims to help people notice their strengths and find practical steps forward.
Her style is conversational and paced to the individual. She starts by asking simple questions to learn what matters most to the person sitting across from her. Small goals are used to guide the work and make progress feel manageable.
Mimi draws from client-centered methods that focus on the person's own priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping. Solution-focused techniques are used to spot small changes that lead to improvement.
She has focused experience with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strains, ADHD, and issues around identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. Codependency and attachment issues are also listed among her focus areas.
Mimi prefers to follow the client's lead and move at a comfortable pace. Early sessions typically clarify immediate concerns and shape a plan of small, achievable steps. The goal is practical progress and a clearer sense of direction.
How these approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps the client name priorities, which can be useful for addressing stress, relationship concerns, or identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. These skills can help with emotional ups and downs, impulsivity, and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and pace, and adjustments are made as needed. This lets the client try techniques and keep what helps most.
