How his approaches work in online therapy
Aaron commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationship patterns shape current connections. This approach helps people understand recurring trust, closeness, or distance issues and how to build healthier bonds.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems because it gives clear, doable steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow.

These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep up consistent progress.
