About Aimee
Aimee Clancy is a licensed social worker and licensed independent mental health practitioner. She focuses on anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, and the weariness that comes from caregiving and life transitions. Her approach is warm and down to earth, and she aims to help people find steady ground when routines and roles shift.
Aimee listens closely to each person's story and builds therapy around what matters most to them. She draws on client-centered methods to honor each person's perspective and narrative therapy to help people rewrite painful themes.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when practical skills are needed to change upsetting thoughts and patterns. Over 12 years of practice have given her experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and the emotional side of retirement or empty nest transitions. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, mood concerns, and loneliness.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps. That might include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing calm focus through mindfulness exercises, or working through difficult family-of-origin patterns. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help setting realistic goals and staying on track.
Aimee practices in Iowa and holds an IA LISW and a NE LIMHP. She offers a straightforward, respectful style and works collaboratively to match therapy to each person's needs.
How Aimee’s Approaches Work Online
Aimee combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to address anxiety and life changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities, helping people feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical steps to reduce anxious reactions and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy uses focused attention and simple exercises to calm the mind and reduce reactivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust course if something isn't working well.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing homework, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching how each person likes to communicate.
