Aimee Mattazaro

Aimee Mattazaro, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes find clearer ways forward. She works with individuals coping with depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and sleep problems. Her approach aims to make conversations feel respectful and down to earth. With seven years of clinical experience, Aimee shapes each session around the person in front of her. She listens first and then together they decide what to work on. Sessions are practical and focused, and she adapts language and pacing to match each person's needs. Aimee draws from several evidence-informed approaches. She uses client-centered techniques to follow the person’s lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods help identify upsetting thoughts and shift unhelpful behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools and solution-focused steps offer concrete skills for managing emotion and moving toward small, achievable goals. People come to her for help with attention and focus concerns, postpartum mood changes, compassion fatigue, and questions about identity and life purpose. She also supports those dealing with trauma, attachment struggles, and issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome. Aimee is licensed in North Carolina as an LCSW, which reflects her clinical practice in the state. She offers care in English and does not accept international clients. To start, she asks new clients to complete a brief intake so she can match treatment to their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Aimee often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT involves looking at thoughts and behaviors to find concrete ways to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Client-centered work focuses on listening, validation, and shaping the pace and goals around what matters to the person. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion-regulation and interpersonal skills when strong feelings or impulsivity are a challenge. These approaches tend to target problems like anxiety, anger, mood swings, and relationship difficulties through skills practice and short skill-building exercises. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. From there they decide which techniques to use and how to sequence them in sessions. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered listening, and DBT skills training to an online setting while working with each client's schedule and goals.
