About Aimee
Aimee Lighty is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, solution-oriented help. She uses clear, down-to-earth methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and other concerns that get in the way of daily life. She has fifteen years of counseling experience and works from a warm, supportive stance.
Sessions can be light-hearted when appropriate and more direct when facing painful memories or strong feelings. Aimee does not tell people what to do; she helps them weigh options and choose steps that make sense for their life.
Background and approach
Her work centers on what people want to change now. She blends client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That mix aims to identify unhelpful patterns, test small changes, and build skills that stick.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar and mood concerns, self-harm, and challenges tied to being a veteran. She also supports those navigating LGBT issues and life transitions. In sessions she sets clear goals and looks for practical steps between meetings.
Aimee uses straightforward exercises, thought and behavior checks, and short-term plans to track progress. Her aim is to help people feel more in control of their reactions and choices. She practices in Pennsylvania and offers care in English.
Online and phone options are available to fit different schedules and needs.

How Aimee’s approaches translate to online therapy
Aimee uses client-centered work to build a trusting connection and follow what matters most to the person in session. This approach means the conversation starts with the client's goals and values and moves at a pace they find helpful.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes. CBT tools can help with anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood by giving concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, short-term goals and notice what improves quickly. These methods are useful when someone wants actionable steps and measurable progress in a few sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to get care around work, family, or busy schedules.
