About Aimee
Aimee Clancy is a licensed social worker and mental health practitioner who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness-informed care to help clients navigate life transitions and ongoing stressors.
Background and approach
With 12 years of clinical experience, she draws on practical, evidence-informed strategies to address anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout that often accompanies health changes, caregiving responsibilities, retirement, or shifts in family roles. Her approach emphasizes listening closely and honoring each person’s story while collaboratively building tools to regain balance and resilience.
Aimee uses narrative elements to help people reframe difficult experiences and motivational interviewing to support shifts in behavior when clients are ready to change. She practices with the credentials LISW and LIMHP and is licensed in Iowa and Nebraska, focusing her practice on thoughtful, non-crisis care rather than emergency intervention.
Clients who work with Aimee can expect a warm, down-to-earth stance that values clients’ existing strengths while offering concrete skills and reflective space to explore identity and goals during major life changes.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood; it offers concrete skills and practice that adapt well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and validation, creating space for clients to explore their experiences and values at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and acceptance skills that can ease stress, improve emotional regulation, and complement other practical strategies.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to understand goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, then tailors methods and exercises that feel useful and manageable. Over time they may combine elements from multiple approaches to match the client’s evolving needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and life demands. This range of formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during caregiving, health-related limitations, or periods of transition, while supporting steady work on practical coping skills and insight.
