He also works with issues like ADHD, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. His approach centers on listening first and helping people identify what matters to them.
Background and approach
He trained after earning a master’s degree in counseling and completed a post-master’s internship at a large nonprofit counseling center in the Houston area. Aaron has worked in nonprofit settings and in independent practice, gaining experience across different communities and backgrounds. In sessions he blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, and practical cognitive-behavioral tools.
He also uses elements from emotionally focused work and the Gottman method when relationship patterns are involved. Conversations are meant to be straightforward and focused on real-life change. Aaron aims to create an open, respectful space where people can talk about hard topics without rush.
He partners with clients to set realistic goals and build skills they can use outside of sessions. Those interested in starting can follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns that repeat in close bonds. It can be useful for intimacy struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it gives concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships to improve closeness and communication.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they tailor the mix of attachment work, CBT, or emotionally focused techniques to match the issue and the client's pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around work and family schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on relationship and coping goals.
