Online sessions and therapeutic approach
Aimee offers remote therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. Her remote practice is aimed at providing continuity of care for those managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma recovery, and relationship or family issues.
She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are described in straightforward, skills-focused language so a person who prefers practical tools and step-by-step strategies can see how sessions might proceed.
In addition, Aimee uses Internal Family Systems and a client-centered stance to explore internal parts, values, and narratives. That combination can fit individuals who want both structured skills training and deeper exploratory work. Prospective participants can choose the communication format that best suits their needs, including live video, phone, chat, or ongoing text-based messaging.
