About Aimee
Aimee Paddock welcomes parents who are worried, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She explains options in simple terms and helps families set clear, manageable goals. Aimee listens first, then works with each person to build skills that fit daily life.
Her direct, steady style aims to make therapy feel practical and doable. Aimee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience in mental health. She has supported people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with family addiction issues, foster care and adoption concerns, trauma, neglect, and domestic violence. She also assists with sleep problems, career stress, and caregiver strain. In sessions she uses a range of methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports people working through attachment and relationship pain.
She also draws on motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when useful. Aimee focuses on building practical tools like communication skills, relaxation, mindfulness, and self-care routines. She helps parents and family members set short- and long-term goals and creates a plan to reach them.
The aim is steady progress that fits each family’s pace and priorities. She practices in Indiana and provides sessions in English. Aimee meets people where they are and partners with them to make concrete changes.
Her approach is respectful, nonjudgmental, and geared toward realistic steps forward.
How Aimee’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Aimee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change daily habits that make stress, anxiety, or low mood worse. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques are practical tools for parents and family members who need ways to manage strong feelings and reduce conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the situation. The process is collaborative and adjusts as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let people connect in shorter blocks or between appointments for check-ins and skill practice. These options make it easier to use therapy tools in real life and keep momentum when schedules are tight.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
