About Aimee
Aimee Paddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 23 years of experience in mental health work. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people facing addictions, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, career questions, and attention difficulties.
Aimee draws on methods from cognitive behavioral work and psychodynamic thinking to help people notice how thinking and past relationships shape current choices. She also uses strategies from dialectical behavior work and motivational interviewing to build practical coping skills and stronger emotion regulation. Sessions include straightforward skill practice - like relaxation, communication techniques, and goal setting.
Her background includes many years working with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment questions, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and family of origin issues. She has experience supporting people after loss, domestic violence, and substance-related problems without making assumptions about any one person’s story.
In sessions she and the client map short- and long-term goals and test small changes between meetings. Conversations are direct and focused on steps the client can try in daily life. Progress is tracked through practical exercises rather than abstract talk alone.
Aimee emphasizes clear communication skills and simple coping tools people can use right away. She works in English and practices in Indiana as an LCSW. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online work
Aimee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors. CBT sessions often include clear exercises and homework that can be practiced between meetings to change daily routines and mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style practice focuses on breathing and grounding exercises, distress tolerance techniques, and step-by-step communication drills that clients can use in real time.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will review your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting strategies as you learn what helps. The client and therapist work together to decide what to focus on each week.
The original biography did not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring observations back to the next meeting.
