Aimee Gandy, LCSW

Aimee Gandy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and changes at work or home. She works with issues around relationships, intimacy, self‑esteem, anger, eating, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is warm and respectful and she aims to meet people where they are.

She has six years of counseling experience and a longer history working in child welfare and adoption services. Much of her background involves supporting children who have experienced abuse and neglect, and she has also provided care to older adults in their homes. That experience shapes a practical, grounded approach to difficult life events.

In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral and narrative therapies, and adapts techniques to each person. She prefers a collaborative, nonjudgmental style that emphasizes clear steps and real‑world changes. Motivational interviewing and solution‑focused ideas often guide short‑term goals and decisions.

Aimee describes her counseling as engaging and compassionate. She focuses on understanding personal stories and noticing patterns that get in the way of recovery or growth. Her work often blends talk therapy with straightforward strategies for coping and behavior change.

People who choose her typically want practical support and encouragement while they work through painful experiences or develop healthier habits. She invites prospective clients to consider what goals matter most and to start by sharing one manageable concern.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Aimee often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy to address practical problems and personal stories. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety or addictive patterns. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives and looking for different, more helpful meanings.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Aimee will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. She adapts techniques over time, combining short‑term strategies with deeper story work where it helps.

Please confirm which online session formats are available before booking, because session types are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker check‑in appointments during breaks, and help people move from discussion to real‑world practice between sessions. Licensed professionals aim to use whichever format best supports progress and daily routines.
