About Aimee
Aimee Severe is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and career or life transitions. She also supports people navigating relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and the emotional impact of grief or caregiving strain.
She approaches sessions in a straightforward, practical way. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and what can change next.
How Aimee works
Aimee uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients test small changes and build new habits. Aimee identifies as an LGBTQ ally and works to make sessions respectful and nonjudgmental. She encourages honest talk about identity, goals, and boundaries.
Parents and new mothers who face postpartum concerns or pregnancy-related stress can bring those topics to sessions. Her additional focus includes codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. She helps people untangle patterns that get in the way of closer relationships and clearer choices.
Practical strategies and short-term goal setting are common parts of the work. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The process begins by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and then scheduling sessions based on availability.
Fees vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Approach-focused online therapy and practical tools
Aimee frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters most and find the motivation to change. This approach is often used for goals like career shifts, improving self-care, or addressing compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and personality. Together they set short-term goals and review what is or isn’t working as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video lets people work face to face when that helps, phone can be a good option for lower bandwidth, and messaging suits quick check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options provide flexibility for different days and needs while keeping the focus on practical change.
