About Aimee
Aimee Lighty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and parenting struggles, and other concerns that get in the way of daily life.
She uses a practical, collaborative style. She avoids telling people what to do and instead works alongside them to identify problems and build workable solutions. Sessions focus on useful steps rather than long conversations that don't lead to change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is central to her approach. She also draws on client-centered principles and solution-focused techniques to address relationship patterns, trauma symptoms, and difficulties like sleep problems, eating concerns, and addictions. That mix is used to help clients break unhelpful habits and learn different ways of responding to stress and strong emotions.
Aimee pays attention to how anger and resentment show up in everyday life. She helps people spot triggers, practice new responses, and repair the impact of heated moments on relationships. She also supports people dealing with veteran and armed forces issues and self-harm concerns as part of broader treatment planning.
Her work aims to make sessions productive and focused on clear goals. People who want practical tools and step-by-step strategies to manage strong emotions or get unstuck often find this approach useful.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Aimee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is practical and task-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, sleep problems, and addictions.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows in on small, achievable steps to move forward. These approaches help when someone wants concrete changes fast and a collaborator to plan each step.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needed. That collaborative planning decides which techniques and exercises will be most useful between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of structured exercises, behavioral experiments, and problem-solving tasks that translate well to remote sessions.
