Aimee PaddockLCSW

Aimee Paddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and changes that come with parenting and life transitions. She uses straightforward coaching and therapy to help people build coping skills, improve self-esteem, and address addictions or mood concerns. Her style is practical and compassionate, aimed at making small changes that add up.

With 23 years in mental health, Aimee draws on long experience supporting people through relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and complicated grief. She has worked with situations involving foster care and adoption, abandonment, domestic violence, and caregiving stress. She also helps people facing sleep problems, career strain, and issues related to aging.

Aimee uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship patterns. Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her work when exploring motivation and past influences.

Sessions typically include goal setting, practical skill practice, and gentle exploration of feelings and history. Aimee emphasizes communication skills, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and self-care practices that people can use between sessions. She aims to meet people where they are and support steady progress.

People who prefer a direct, empathic clinician who combines skill-building with personal insight may find her approach helpful. Aimee works from Indiana and conducts sessions in English.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Aimee draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help shape online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for intense feelings and relationship strain. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how people connect and respond in important relationships, which can help with attachment and communication patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aimee will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping momentum between visits. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current online options before booking. People often use online sessions to make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when that fits a work break or caregiving routine. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions so progress continues even when life is busy.
