Jaime Conover
I am a mother, wife and therapist. In my practice I work with individuals struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, pre and post bariatric surgery, self-esteem, anxiety and general women's issues. I have 20+ years as a therapist in practice treating eating disorders, over ten years of pre and post bariatric therapy. I am the co-founder, former president & Emeritus board member of Oklahoma Eating Disorders Association. I work virtually to provide therapy to clients in the following states OK, TX, LA, KS, OH and FL.
I often describe our sessions as us putting a puzzle together, with the ultimate goal of seeing the progress you make piece by piece.
First session
The initial session will be an information gathering session as well as beginning to identify goals. It is my goal to have the client feel comfortable, creating the beginning of a therapeutic alliance and hopeful for upcoming sessions to provide steps to meeting the goals identified.
Strengths
I provide a relaxed environment. I can hold space for you, challenge you, laugh and cry with you. I have been down similar roads and want to walk with you. I often describe our sessions as us putting a puzzle together, with the ultimate goal of seeing the progress you make piece by piece.
Ideal clients
Generally speaking, I work with young to mature adult women with a variety of concerns. More specifically I work with the entire spectrum of eating concerns, body image, or life changes (pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause), life challenges in career or family. When a client would like, I will incorporate faith into our sessions as it is often a great source for comfort, coping, identifying value and setting goals.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a practical, values‑based approach that helps you accept what you can’t control, live in the present, and take action that aligns with what matters most to you — even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. This is helpful when addressing your relationship to food, your body or life changes.
Faith-based therapy
This approach intentionally integrates your spiritual beliefs and practices with evidence-based psychological techniques to support your healing, growth, and personal well-being. Such as using mindfulness, acceptance commitment therapy, etc. combining it with elements of your faith tradition, such as scripture, prayer, spiritual values, or religious teachings, as therapeutic resources. The goal is to help you address emotional, relational, and life challenges in a way that aligns with your beliefs, making the process more relevant, meaningful, and supportive for you
