About Aimee
Aimee Lighty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She aims to make sessions useful and grounded, helping people take steps that improve daily life and relationships. Aimee uses a direct but warm approach.
She balances lighthearted support with focused work when emotions run deep. She avoids simply directing clients and instead works side-by-side to understand issues and create clear next steps.
Background and approach
Her work emphasizes tools that people can use between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused strategies keep sessions goal-oriented so progress is visible and measurable.
Aimee also draws from ideas used to address relationship and family dynamics to improve communication and problem-solving. Sessions aim to reduce conflict, ease parenting strain, and strengthen connection where that is a concern. She has 15 years of professional experience and practices in Pennsylvania.
Over that time she has supported people dealing with anger, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, self-harm concerns, and issues tied to being LGBT or a veteran. The emphasis is on practical steps, clear goals, and steady progress.
How Aimee’s Approaches Work Online
Aimee uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and priorities. That approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set the pace and goals for their work together.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It provides concrete exercises and strategies people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change unhelpful habits.
Solution-Focused Therapy keeps therapy forward-looking. Sessions concentrate on small, achievable changes and building on what already works, which can be helpful for stress, parenting challenges, and relationship problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief reflections and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
