About Aimee
Aimee Severe is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, life changes, grief, and career questions. Aimee is an LGBTQ ally and aims to make sessions feel welcoming and nonjudgmental.
She uses practical tools to help people handle everyday problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Aimee emphasizes motivation, building confidence, and improving communication so people can face hard moments more steadily. Her background includes long experience across common life transitions. That history gives her a steady approach when someone is coping with loss, a job change, or the pressures of parenting and postpartum adjustment.
She also supports people experiencing compassion fatigue and the burnout that can come with caregiving roles. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those approaches help clients spot unhelpful thoughts, set realistic goals, and try small, practical changes that add up over time.
Aimee aims to build a calm, respectful space where people can talk through worries and work toward clearer next steps. She meets with people across a range of concerns including relationship strain, codependency, forgiveness work, and questions about life purpose.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Aimee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on small, practical experiments and clearer routines that reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps people find what matters most to them and build internal motivation for change. It works well when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's life and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for quick reflections, timely support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work through life transitions.
