About Aimee
Aimee Paddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, depression, parenting concerns, addictions, and family-related issues. She also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career or life changes.
Aimee uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps set short- and long-term goals. That can include building communication skills, learning relaxation and mindfulness exercises, or practicing coping strategies for difficult feelings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions may look at current thinking and behavior while also exploring patterns from earlier relationships when helpful.
She has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, domestic violence, substance use, and family of origin problems. Aimee offers direction on parenting struggles and relationship conflict in individual sessions rather than running family or couples therapy formats unless that is arranged and specified.
People meet her for clear, practical steps and a plan that fits their situation. She encourages realistic goals and practices clients can use between sessions. To begin, readers are advised to confirm which session formats are offered before booking.
How sessions work
How Aimee’s approaches translate to online work
Aimee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep issues, low mood, and practical problem-solving.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete techniques for handling strong feelings, managing cravings related to addictions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas may appear when exploring how patterns in close relationships affect current reactions. EFT-focused work helps clarify emotions and how they show up in relationship-related stress.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as problems shift or new priorities appear.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Aimee uses her clinical approaches to adapt exercises and skill practice for remote sessions so people can apply what they learn in day-to-day situations.
