Aimee Gandy, LCSW

Aimee Gandy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addiction, anger, eating issues, low self-esteem, career challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her tone is warm and straightforward and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Aimee centers sessions on what each person needs right now. She listens without judgment and treats people with respect and compassion. She blends cognitive behavioral approaches and narrative therapy to help people reframe thoughts and rewrite their story. Sessions are tailored to individual goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her background includes many years in child welfare and ongoing work with the adoption population, where she focused on children who experienced abuse and neglect. She has also provided in-home support for older adults. That experience informs a steady, empathetic approach when working through painful histories and complex family dynamics.

Aimee uses practical techniques that people can try between appointments. She often helps clients break big problems into small, achievable steps and notices what’s already working. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are part of her toolkit when people want clear goals and short-term progress.

She is based in Florida and brings six years of direct counseling experience to her current practice. Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit each person’s schedule.

How Aimee’s Approaches Work Online

Aimee often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear tools to change day-to-day thinking and behavior.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a respectful, supportive relationship. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they figure out what changes they want to make.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Aimee works together with each person to decide what fits best. She checks goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people keep visual connection for deeper dialogue, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
