Aimee Clancy, LISW, LIMHP

Aimee Clancy is a licensed independent social worker and licensed independent mental health practitioner with 12 years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, down-to-earth approach for people facing big life changes and the feelings that come with them. Her work is attentive and practical, aiming to help people find steady ground again.

She often supports people navigating grief, health changes, caregiving responsibilities, retirement, empty nest transitions, widowhood, and other midlife shifts. Anxiety, depression, frustration, and exhaustion commonly come up alongside these life changes, and she addresses those concerns directly. Her approach centers on listening closely and taking each person’s story seriously.

Aimee uses client-centered methods alongside practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, build small coping skills, and reconnect with values and strengths they already have. Sessions focus on what the person needs right now rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her background includes work in settings that serve older adults and caregivers, which informs how she frames aging and caregiving issues. Aimee emphasizes collaboration and paced change, helping people try new ways of coping and then adjust as needed.

She holds licenses in Iowa and Nebraska: LISW (Iowa licensed independent social worker) and LIMHP (Nebraska licensed independent mental health practitioner). Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for non-crisis, change-focused work.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Aimee uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting space where the person’s needs and goals guide each session. This approach focuses on listening closely and helping people draw on their own resources to make changes.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes in behavior. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and the overwhelm that comes with major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aimee collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their situation, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, work around caregiving duties, or avoiding travel time. Discussing scheduling needs with the therapist helps match timing and session length to everyday routines.
