How Aimee’s Approaches Work Online

Aimee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves setting clear goals, trying new coping skills between sessions, and tracking progress over time.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aimee collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needs change, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote work useful because it can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins or skill practice between activities. Aimee aims to shape therapy so it fits into everyday life while helping clients build new coping strategies and plan for the future.
