About Aimee
Aimee Gandy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and attention-deficit concerns. Aimee works from Florida and conducts sessions in English.
She brings a direct and warm style to sessions. Conversations are respectful and nonjudgmental. She listens first and meets people where they are, then helps set small, realistic goals to build change over time.
Aimee uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral and narrative therapy techniques. She focuses on practical steps that address thinking patterns and the stories people tell about their lives. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox for helping people find their own reasons to change.
Her background includes long experience in child welfare and work with the adoption population, and she has supported adults who have experienced abuse and neglect. She has also provided in-home services for older adults. This mix of roles has shaped her practical, behavior-focused approach to problem solving.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Aimee helps people identify priorities, try small experiments, and track progress. The overall tone is supportive and focused on workable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

How motivational and practical approaches work online
Aimee integrates Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people uncover their own reasons to change and boosts willingness to try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, offering empathy and respectful listening to support self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through small, practical exercises.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Aimee will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She often combines elements from different approaches and adjusts the plan based on what is most helpful in real sessions.
If you plan to pursue online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals can use these same approaches in remote sessions to practice new skills, try behavioral experiments, and track progress between meetings. -
