Aimee Paddock, LCSW

Aimee Paddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 23 years of experience in mental health work. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and major life changes. Her background includes work related to parenting, foster care and adoption, trauma and abuse, and blended family issues.

She uses practical strategies in sessions. That can include goal-setting, communication skills, relaxation and coping techniques, and ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on approaches that look at emotions and longstanding patterns to understand repeated problems.

Her experience includes work with people facing domestic violence, mood disorders, addiction, traumatic losses, and caregiving stress. She has spent many years supporting people through both immediate crises and longer term concerns. Aimee describes working with clients to make short- and long-term plans that match what they want to change.

In conversation she focuses on clear steps and skills that can be practiced between sessions. Examples are mindfulness, meditation, and positive thinking exercises alongside communication practice. These are presented as tools a person can use when daily stresses or family tensions rise.

People who choose her often want a steady, experienced clinician who combines skills-based work with attention to emotional patterns. She encourages open discussion about goals and prefers to build a plan that fits each person’s situation and needs.
