About Aimee
Aimee Paddock meets people where they are and helps them take manageable steps forward. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with many years of experience supporting people through stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and addictions. Her approach centers on practical skills and steady support to help clients during hard moments.
She draws on a mix of therapy methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, coping skills, relaxation and mindfulness, and small goals that build confidence.
Background and approach
Aimee emphasizes real-world tools you can use between visits. Her background includes long-term work in mental health and addictions counseling across community and clinical settings. That experience informs how she addresses complicated situations like family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and substance use.
She also helps with life transitions, caregiving stress, and grief after loss. In sessions she helps clients set short- and long-term goals and creates a plan that fits their situation. Conversations are direct but compassionate, with an eye toward practical change and gradual progress.
Aimee aims to empower people to use coping strategies on their own. People who choose her can expect a steady, straightforward style and an emphasis on skill-building. She provides support for a wide range of concerns including sleep problems, body image, ADHD, relationship strain, and career stress.
Her work is guided by respect, sensitivity, and a focus on what will help most in everyday life.
How these approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing alternative thoughts, and trying behavioral changes between sessions to reduce anxiety or depression.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills. In remote sessions this can mean learning breathing and grounding techniques, improving communication, and practicing distress-tolerance skills for intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods that match goals, preferences, and the issue at hand. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing reminders of skills between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and practice techniques in daily life.
