01About Aimee
Aimee Lighty is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. She uses clear, goal-oriented work to help clients make changes that affect daily life and relationships. She sketches a plan with each person and keeps sessions focused.
Conversations are warm and straightforward. She balances a friendly, light-hearted manner with deeper emotional work when needed. Aimee draws on client-centered therapy to listen deeply and follow each person's priorities.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and track progress. Her practice includes help for parenting and family-related stress, relationship strain, anger and addiction concerns, sleep and eating issues, self-esteem struggles, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression.
She also lists support for LGBT concerns, ADHD, veteran and armed forces issues, trauma and abuse, and self-harm as focus areas. With 15 years of experience working in Pennsylvania she brings practical skills rather than abstract theory. Sessions aim to produce useful tools clients can use outside therapy.
The emphasis is on collaboration, measurable steps, and making time count. People who want direct, organized sessions with a counselor who values both empathy and action may find her style helpful. Conversations move from understanding to small experiments and problem solving that fit everyday life.

How Aimee’s Approaches Work Online
Aimee uses client-centered therapy to hear what matters most to each person and to shape sessions around their priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting feelings, and helping people find their own solutions, which can be useful for relationship strain, identity concerns, and coping with life changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT helps break problems into manageable parts, try new behaviors, and track what works for issues like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. That collaboration helps make sure sessions match what a person needs and want to accomplish.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and have longer discussions. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when a shorter exchange fits someone’s schedule. These options aim to make it easier to meet regularly and keep momentum between meetings.
