About Aaron
Aaron spent years working with people who struggle with addiction and co-occurring disorders. He also has experience supporting those coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, impulse control, and self-harm. He often works with people who are dealing with career shifts, relationship strain, grief, or financial stress.
His style centers on building an alliance with each person. He encourages self-determination so clients decide what to change and when. Sessions focus on agreed-upon goals and practical strategies rather than judgment.
Aaron draws on approaches like solution-focused methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. These tools are used to reduce distress, shift unhelpful patterns, and help people commit to values-based actions.
He keeps a relatively small caseload to allow time for focused work with each client. That lets him tailor steps and homework to individual needs and follow progress over time. People looking for straightforward, goal-oriented support often reach out to him for help navigating midlife transitions and related challenges.

How therapy methods translate to online work
Aaron commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helping people with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions aligned with those values, which can help when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aaron treats choosing methods as a collaborative process and will help determine what fits a person's goals, preferences, and daily routine as therapy begins and progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offer more flexibility around work or family commitments. Licensed professionals, including therapists using these approaches, often adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment.
