About Aimee
She has six years of direct counseling experience and a longer career in social work that included child welfare and work with the adoption population. That background gave her a lot of hands-on experience supporting people affected by abuse and neglect, and earlier work included visiting and assisting older adults in their homes.
Aimee uses a client-centered approach that focuses on each person's immediate needs and strengths. She often integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way, and she uses narrative therapy to help people reframe their stories and roles.
In sessions she aims to be compassionate and nonjudgmental. She tailors her approach to fit what each client brings, whether the goal is short-term problem solving or deeper healing. She also brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools when people want practical steps and clearer goals.
If someone is looking for support during a life change or trying to reduce daily stress, she helps them set realistic goals and build workable strategies. To begin, people are encouraged to follow the site's start process and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Aimee commonly uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's priorities and strengths. That approach means the conversation is shaped by what matters most to the client, and the therapist follows the person's pace and direction.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and daily coping strategies. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people resolve ambivalence and find motivation for change. It can be helpful for addictions, habit change, and decision making.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will discuss options and help choose what fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not detailed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking.
