About Aimee
Aimee Dinschel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois who helps people cope with anxiety, depression, stress, and the ups and downs of life. She often supports clients dealing with trauma, panic, low self-esteem, and the disruption that comes with major life changes.
Many people also seek her help for relationship worries, grief, sleep problems, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges. With 16 years of clinical experience, she focuses on building understanding and practical skills.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on clear goals and small, doable steps. Conversations look at how patterns of thinking and behavior affect daily life, and how to try different strategies that actually fit each person’s routine. Aimee emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance.
She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts tools to match those priorities. That can mean working on communication habits, emotion regulation, or managing panic and worry in the moment. She uses well-known approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical skills to teach coping techniques.
Motivational interviewing helps when making big changes feels hard, and Internal Family Systems ideas support deeper work on inner parts and self-understanding. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are offered in English.
A subscription model funds sessions and can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Aimee often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems because it focuses on small experiments and skill practice.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-based tools can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Aimee will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their life and preferences, adjusting plans based on what helps most in real time.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone calls can fit a short break at work or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging is handy for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving demands.
