Aimee Lighty, LPC

Aimee Lighty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience working across career, education, mental health, and relationship and family concerns. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, and other challenges that interfere with functioning at work and in close relationships.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. She brings a warm, supportive, and often light-hearted manner to sessions while also being willing to engage deeply and emotively when clients need to process difficult experiences and strong feelings. Rather than directing clients, she partners with them to explore problems and design practical solutions, emphasizing productive use of time together.

Clinically, she primarily employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and also draws from client-centered and solution-focused methods as well as structural and strategic family therapy concepts when improving family and relationship dynamics is the focus. Her specialty areas include stress, anxiety, relationships and family work, parenting, anger, addictions, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping issues, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD, with additional focus on veteran and armed forces issues and self-harm. She provides therapy in English and practices from a strengths-based, practical perspective that aims to produce meaningful change over time.
