How Aaron’s Approaches Work Online

Aaron draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress because it breaks problems into clear steps to change. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and rewrite parts that cause pain or limit choices. This can be helpful for identity, attachment, and adoption-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and practical - it focuses on what’s already working and builds small, concrete steps toward the client’s goals.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Aaron will listen to what matters most to the client, discuss options, and try methods that match the person’s goals and comfort level. He adjusts the plan as progress is made, combining techniques when that seems useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes.
