About Aimee Paddock
Aimee Paddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 23 years of experience supporting people through mental health and addictions-related concerns. Her work includes helping clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate grief and loss, strengthen motivation, build self-esteem, and cope with depression, along with a wide range of other challenges that can affect daily life and relationships.
Across her career, she has worked with adults, children, and families around parenting concerns, relationship and communication difficulties, family addiction dynamics, foster care and adoption issues, abandonment, and family-of-origin stressors. She also has experience supporting individuals impacted by trauma, neglect, and abuse (in childhood and adulthood), including those affected by domestic violence. Her background includes working with mood-related concerns, psychosis, and grief connected to aging, medical issues, and sudden or unexpected losses.
Aimee draws from multiple psychotherapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy, to help clients identify meaningful goals and develop a treatment plan that fits their needs. Sessions may focus on practical skills such as mindfulness, relaxation strategies, self-care routines, coping tools, and healthier thinking patterns, with an emphasis on building communication and resilience over time.
She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, meeting each client where they are and collaborating on next steps that feel realistic and supportive. Aimee aims to create a space where clients can talk openly and work toward the kind of changes that help them feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with the life they want to live.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Aimee Paddock integrates practical, evidence-informed approaches that can work well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then building skills to respond in more helpful ways. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem challenges, especially when day-to-day coping feels harder than it used to.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, which emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. DBT-informed strategies can be useful when feelings become intense, relationships feel reactive, or it is difficult to stay grounded during life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy may also be part of the work, helping clients explore how past experiences and long-standing patterns can shape current emotions, relationships, and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aimee collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what is getting in the way, and choose strategies that match each person’s needs and preferences, adjusting over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This can make it easier to stay consistent with care, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and get support in the format that feels most comfortable.
