About Aimee
She helps clients manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the exhaustion of trying to hold everything together. Aimee often supports people navigating grief, retirement, empty nest adjustments, widowhood, and questions about identity after big role changes. Aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress are part of the concerns she addresses.
Her approach centers on listening closely and treating each person’s story as important. She uses client-centered methods alongside tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also shape how she explores goals and personal meaning.
Aimee emphasizes collaboration rather than handing out formulas. Sessions focus on small, usable steps that fit into daily life. She frames therapy as a process of rediscovering strengths people already have and building practical strategies for coping.
People should note that she does not provide crisis care or services for suicidal crises in this setting. For those who want help with life transitions, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or mood symptoms, she offers an approachable, steady therapeutic presence.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Aimee commonly draws on client-centered therapy to make space for each person’s story and perspective. This approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their goals and strengths in their own words.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people test unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Mindfulness techniques are included to help people notice stress and bodily tension without getting swept away. These practices can be useful for managing worry, improving sleep, and grounding during difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Licensed professionals working online can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices so they work in everyday life.
