About Aimee

Aimee Clancy is a licensed social worker and mental health practitioner with 12 years of experience. She sees adults in Iowa who are navigating life changes and the emotions that come with them. Her manner is warm and down to earth, and she listens closely to each person's story.

Aimee focuses on common struggles that appear during transitions. She helps with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, retirement or empty nest adjustments, and relationship or family of origin concerns.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on the client's story. Using Narrative Therapy and client-centered principles, she helps people name the patterns that shape their life and identify alternatives. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools to manage symptoms and build practical skills.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Aimee aims to help people find clearer choices and small, workable steps. She encourages clients to draw on their own strengths while trying new ways of responding to stress and change.

Aimee holds an IA LISW, which is an Iowa Licensed Independent Social Worker, and a NE LIMHP, a Nebraska Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner. She offers appointments by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Aimee uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their day-to-day life. This approach looks at the way problems are described and helps people notice other angles and possibilities.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-centered work focuses on listening, respect, and following the client's lead. CBT offers clear, practical tools for changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and personal preferences. This happens together so changes feel manageable and relevant.

Online therapy with Aimee is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity during life transitions.
