About Aimee
Aimee Lighty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, goal-oriented therapy. She centers sessions on what matters most to the person in front of her. Her approach is collaborative and direct, with an emphasis on managing stress and anxiety that get in the way of daily life.
She brings 15 years of experience to work with concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, and sleep or eating issues.
Background and approach
Relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, and trauma or abuse are also areas she helps people address. Aimee also notes work with veteran and armed forces issues and self-harm as additional areas of focus. Sessions are conversational but purposeful.
Aimee uses client-centered methods to build a trusting space and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals and measure progress over time. Her style can be warm and light-hearted, yet ready to be intense when processing painful experiences.
She prefers to work collaboratively rather than tell people what to do, so clients help shape the plan and next steps. The aim is steady, useful change rather than repeated problem talk. Aimee practices from Pennsylvania and conducts therapy in English.
She offers multiple online session formats so people can choose what fits their schedule. To begin, prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Aimee commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to build trust and clarify concerns; it helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to sort things out. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression.She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and track small wins. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, preferences, and goals and then adapt methods over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and when visual cues help the process. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or step-by-step work between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
