About Aimee

Aimee Paddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 23 years of experience in mental health and addictions counseling. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting, career issues, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English.

Aimee approaches problems in straightforward ways. She and a client set short- and long-term goals and build a practical plan. Sessions can include communication practice, relaxation skills, mindfulness exercises, and coping strategies that people can use day to day.

Her background includes long experience with adoption and foster care topics, attachment and family-of-origin issues, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and substance use problems. She has also supported people facing loss, domestic violence, and trauma. That experience informs a focus on practical skills as well as understanding how past events affect current life.

Aimee uses a range of therapy approaches depending on the situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques show up alongside psychodynamic ideas and motivational interviewing. She adapts methods to the clients goals rather than following one fixed method.

The first sessions typically clarify goals and outline a plan. People can expect direct conversation about current problems, options for coping, and steps to try between sessions. Cost varies by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

BHow sessions work

How Aimee uses therapy approaches in remote sessions

Aimee commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and motivational interviewing in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational interviewing focuses on clarifying a persons goals and strengthening their own reasons for change, which can help with addictions and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Aimee will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility around work or family schedules. It can also let the therapist focus on skills practice, real-time problem solving, and planning homework between sessions to support everyday changes.
