Aimee Lighty , LPC

Aimee Lighty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 15 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She draws on practical therapeutic methods to address a broad range of concerns - from parenting and family dynamics to trauma, addictions, and mood disorders - while also offering focused support for veterans and those coping with self-harm behaviors.

Her approach blends warmth and genuine support with a results-oriented focus. Sessions are collaborative and solution-minded, emphasizing concrete steps and skills rather than extended analysis without action. While her manner is generally light-hearted and encouraging, she can be direct and emotionally engaged when clients need help processing difficult experiences.

Clinically, Aimee uses client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. This combination allows her to attend to emotions and relationships while equipping clients with tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She prioritizes making therapy time productive and relevant so clients leave sessions with clear, achievable next steps.

Aimee offers therapy in English and works with individuals facing issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, and LGBT-related matters, always aiming to match therapeutic methods to a client’s goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Aimee integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore feelings and values at their own pace. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to clarify priorities or work through emotional concerns.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often effective for managing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related problems.

Solution-focused therapy is used to set clear, achievable goals and to identify small changes that lead to meaningful progress. It helps clients who want to move quickly toward specific outcomes and build on existing strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aimee works collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support, access therapy from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
