About Aimee

Aimee Severe is a California-licensed therapist with 30 years of clinical experience who supports individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), which indicates specialized training in relational and individual work and a state license to provide therapy in California. Aimee brings a steady, compassionate approach to concerns such as low self-esteem, motivation, grief, career crossroads, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue, and she also addresses issues like codependency, communication difficulties, and finding life purpose.

As an LGBTQ ally therapist, she creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgement. Aimee focuses on practical strategies and collaborative planning to help clients build confidence, manage emotional overwhelm, and navigate major life changes, including pregnancy and childbirth and women's health matters. She encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and partners with clients to set goals and track progress at a pace that fits their needs. Aimee’s work emphasizes clear communication, realistic steps toward change, and support for both immediate coping and longer-term personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop new ways of coping; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring and strengthening a person’s own reasons for change by using guided conversation and reflective listening - it can be especially helpful for motivation, goal-setting, and readiness to change. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes building on strengths and small, achievable steps to move toward desired outcomes, making it useful for clients seeking clear progress on relationships, career, or life transitions.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Aimee works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and tailors techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s situation so that treatment feels practical and aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from different locations in California. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing support between sessions, and let therapists and clients focus on progress in ways that suit each individual’s routine and comfort level.
