Aimee Lighty , LPC

Aimee Lighty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience across career, education, mental health, and family work. She concentrates on helping people manage stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma that interfere with relationships or workplace functioning, and she brings a practical focus to improving everyday coping and connection.

Her style balances warmth and an often light-hearted presence with the ability to be intense and emotive when processing painful experiences. Rather than prescribing solutions, she partners with clients to explore concerns and design actions that produce real change, valuing efficient, goal-oriented time together.

Aimee primarily draws from cognitive behavioral therapy while also using client-centered and solution-focused techniques to strengthen relationships, clarify priorities, and build coping skills. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including parenting and family issues, addictions, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem challenges, bipolar and depressive symptoms, ADHD, anger, and veteran and armed forces issues, as well as self-harm.

As an LPC she holds a license to provide professional mental health counseling, and she strives to make sessions productive, supportive, and tailored to each person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and supported. It is often helpful for people seeking a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, sleep and eating problems, and common daily challenges.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable steps toward clients’ goals. It helps people quickly clarify what they want to change and create specific actions to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aimee works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work progresses.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and make services more accessible across distances. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, goal-oriented care that aligns with each client’s life and availability.
