Aimee Gandy, LCSW

Aimee Gandy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues like addiction and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with depression, anger, self-esteem struggles, career uncertainties, eating concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. Aimee writes in plain terms and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for honest conversation.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and narrative approaches to help people identify patterns, test small changes, and rewrite unhelpful stories they tell about themselves. Sessions begin where the person is, with goals set together and practical steps chosen to fit day-to-day life. Her style is warm, engaging, and nonjudgmental, focusing on what will help most right now.

Aimee spent much of her career in child welfare and has worked with the adoption population and children who experienced abuse and neglect. She has also provided in-home support for older adults, giving her a broad view of how stress and trauma affect daily functioning.

Over six years of clinical practice inform her work, and she emphasizes clear, doable strategies alongside listening and validation. She aims to empower people to make changes, feel more capable, and manage hard moments more effectively.

If someone is ready to try a different way of handling their problems, Aimee offers steady guidance and practical tools to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and helps clients name their priorities so sessions follow the client’s pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person's needs. This is collaborative - strategies can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or options that avoid being on camera if that helps someone engage more easily. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
