About Aimee
Aimee Lighty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She draws on 15 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties that get in the way of daily life. Her approach focuses on practical steps and collaborative problem solving.
Aimee keeps sessions warm and straightforward. She listens and reflects, then works with each person to try doable changes. She aims to keep sessions focused so time together feels useful rather than repetitive.
In practice she commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas. That means she helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, set small goals, and build strategies that fit their lives. When stronger emotions come up she can be direct and emotionally engaged to help process them.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting stress, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating issues, bipolar mood concerns, self-harm focus, and low self-esteem. Sleep and rest are also listed among the issues she addresses, often by looking at routines, stress, and daytime habits that affect sleep.
People who choose Aimee can expect a collaborative style that balances empathy with practical steps. She supports people through life transitions, ADHD challenges, and issues related to veteran and armed forces experiences. Sessions are offered in English and reflect her years of clinical practice in Pennsylvania.
How these approaches can work in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name goals and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then practice small, concrete changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term goals and practical steps. It helps people build on what already works and try manageable experiments between sessions. Together these approaches aim to blend understanding with action so progress is clear and measurable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as priorities shift and new challenges arise.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also let people try focused work on sleep routines, coping skills for anxiety, or brief problem-solving sessions without rearranging their whole day.
