About Aimee
Aimee Lighty is a licensed professional counselor who uses practical, goal-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She brings 15 years of counseling experience and aims for sessions that feel direct, warm, and useful. Her style balances lightness with emotional depth so difficult topics get addressed without getting stuck.
Aimee emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals and small, achievable steps.
Background and approach
She prefers approaches that focus on present problems and workable solutions rather than long, open-ended talk. Sessions often include skill practice and problem-solving between meetings. Her work commonly covers relationships, self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, anger, addictions, and trauma and abuse.
She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Aimee notes additional focus on veteran and armed forces issues and on self-harm concerns, and she brings those topics into practical planning and safety-focused conversations. As an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - in Pennsylvania, Aimee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and Solution-Focused methods.
She adapts techniques to fit each person's needs and preferences without assuming a single method will work for everyone. People who value clear steps and a collaborative tone find her approach helpful. She aims to make sessions feel like a partnership where progress is measured in real-life changes rather than just talk.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Aimee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, presented in straightforward, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or improve sleep. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and strengths to move forward quickly when facing problems like stress, parenting challenges, or relationship strain.She also draws on Client-Centered principles, which prioritize listening and responding to each person's experience. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or combination will best match goals and preferences. That choice is a collaborative process that can change as work moves forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options aim to make scheduling easier and therapy more accessible while keeping focus on practical tools and measurable progress.
