About Aimee

Aimee Paddock welcomes people who are ready to address stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family challenges, and other life changes. She emphasizes practical strategies and individualized goals so clients can build coping skills, improve communication, and work toward clearer direction in daily life.

Background and approach

With an empathetic stance, she focuses on meeting clients where they are and helping them make steady progress toward what matters most. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana, Aimee brings 23 years of experience in mental health and addictions counseling.

Her background includes work with parenting and family dynamics, adoption and foster care situations, trauma and abuse survivors, mood disorders, and grief related to unexpected losses. She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods and psychodynamic understanding to tailor treatment plans, incorporating relaxation, mindfulness, and skill-building exercises to support long-term change.

Common Therapies and How They Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or difficulty concentrating. It emphasizes practical exercises and homework to apply during daily life.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Its skills-based focus can be useful for managing reactive responses and building steadier coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Aimee collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines skill-building techniques and psychodynamic perspective as needed, adapting the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work from home or work. These formats support ongoing skill practice and check-ins between sessions, helping clients maintain momentum while working toward established goals.
