About Aimee

Aimee Gandy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. She offers a straightforward and compassionate presence and aims to help clients manage life changes, work through relationship and intimacy issues, and address addiction or coping struggles. She writes plainly and listens first, meeting people where they are.

Her counseling style is warm and engaging. She treats people with respect and without judgment.

Background and approach

Sessions are built around practical steps and clear conversation rather than jargon. Aimee blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with narrative ideas to help clients see patterns and reshape unhelpful thoughts. She has six years of direct clinical experience and holds the designation Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Her license details are FL LCSW SW9529. Aimee has worked in settings that included child welfare and home-based care for older adults, giving her experience with trauma, neglect, and long-term support needs. In sessions she uses skills-based tools - like identifying thoughts that keep people stuck and testing small behavior changes.

She also helps clients tell their story in new ways so painful experiences don’t define them. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when someone wants clear, short-term goals and action plans. Aimee aims to empower people to make positive changes.

She partners with clients to set realistic steps and build stronger coping. Her work is practical, compassionate, and directed toward real-life improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Aimee commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy when working with clients. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Narrative therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives and aims to create new, more empowering narratives after trauma or loss.

She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help clients set concrete goals and find momentum for change. These approaches are practical and action-oriented, useful when someone wants short-term progress or clear steps to try between sessions. Aimee treats the selection of methods as a collaboration; she listens first and then suggests approaches that match a person’s needs and preferences. Together the therapist and client decide what to try and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

Online therapy in her practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep work moving forward between meetings. The range of formats gives flexibility for different comfort levels and daily routines while allowing the same therapeutic techniques to be used across formats.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
