About Aimee
Aimee Clancy is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with 12 years of practice in Iowa. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Aimee often supports people managing grief, caregiving responsibilities, retirement transitions, and the slow wearing down that comes from carrying too much for others.
She listens for what matters most in a person's story and helps them name practical next steps. Sessions tend to look at day-to-day patterns, unhelpful thinking, and small behavior changes that can make life easier. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered conversations are part of how she works, alongside mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people reflect on their experiences.
Aimee has spent much of her work with women and older women facing role changes such as empty nest, widowhood, or retirement. She also supports people dealing with chronic health issues, caregiver stress, isolation, and mood challenges. Panic and anxiety concerns are among the issues she addresses.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused rather than formulaic. She helps people notice what they already do well, try out different ways of responding, and reframe old stories that no longer fit. That practical focus aims to restore a sense of footing when life feels unsettled.
Aimee does not provide crisis care or services for people having active suicidal thoughts. For routine starts, she asks people to use the platform steps to complete a short questionnaire and arrange the first meeting.
How Aimee uses CBT, client-centered work and mindfulness online
Aimee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and supports testing small changes to see what helps with anxiety or mood symptoms.She also uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening and building on what a person already knows about their life. That means conversations focus on the concerns a person brings and on practical next steps they want to try. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment, which many people find useful for anxiety and stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Aimee will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts over time as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when helpful. Phone or video choices can also help when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera.
