About Aimee
Aimee Dinschel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois who helps people manage overwhelming emotions and life changes. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and major transitions. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more capable in day-to-day life.
Aimee focuses on problems like social anxiety, panic attacks, low self-esteem, and repetitive relationship patterns. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and attention challenges such as ADHD.
How Aimee works
Sessions aim to make problems easier to understand and handle, not bigger or more confusing. Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. That means she listens first and helps clients choose strategies that fit their needs.
Together they build skills for stress management, better emotion awareness, and clearer communication with others. Aimee uses a mix of practical tools and reflective work. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for intense emotions.
Internal Family Systems and motivational interviewing help when people want to understand inner parts or find motivation for change. With 16 years of experience, Aimee pairs real-world techniques with steady support. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a range of formats.
People start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a session that works for them.

How Aimee’s Approaches Work Online
Aimee blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make practical changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and meeting a person where they are, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.She treats therapy as a team effort. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches to try based on the person’s goals, strengths, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process often includes trying skills, checking how they work, and adjusting the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing new skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
