Aaron offers a tailored, compassionate approach that recognizes each personâs unique background and needs. He creates a supportive space where exploration of feelings and practical problem solving occur side by side, helping individuals build coping strategies and reconnect with inner resources. His work includes specific attention to the concerns of LGBTQ+ people and those facing identity shifts later in life.

As a LICSW - a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - Aaron combines clinical training with many years of hands-on practice to guide clients through difficult moments. He aims to walk alongside clients, offering steady support and thoughtful guidance while they make decisions, process loss, or seek renewed meaning and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Aaron integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Jungian therapy, and mindfulness practices into his work to address a range of concerns experienced by older adults and caregivers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Jungian therapy explores personal meaning, life story, and inner symbols to help people make sense of transitions and rediscover purpose. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple mental habits that can ease stress, improve emotional regulation, and support coping during grief or change.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Aaron works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, adapting techniques as progress unfolds and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected with a licensed professional. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access support from home or while managing caregiving responsibilities. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy or changing schedule.
