Aaron Silverman, LMSW

Aaron Silverman is a Michigan-based licensed social worker with 15 years of clinical experience who helps people improve relationships, manage emotions, and pursue clearer life direction. A 2013 graduate of Touro College School of Social Work in New York City, he blends formal training with practical life experience to build meaningful connections and guide clients toward greater congruence between their values and actions.

Aaron draws on a range of evidence-based techniques including mindfulness practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). He brings his whole self to the work and uses these approaches to support emotional, relational, and professional goals, helping clients express personal strength and repair family and community ties. Aaron aims to reduce internal and relational conflict while fostering healthier communication and stronger bonds.

Holding an LMSW - a Licensed Master Social Worker credential - he focuses on relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and related areas such as attachment, codependency, communication problems, emptiness, forgiveness, jealousy, life purpose, men’s issues, and self-love. He meets people where they are and partners with them to develop practical strategies for more satisfying personal and professional lives.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Aaron commonly integrates mindfulness practices into sessions to help clients increase present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and develop tools for managing anger, anxiety, and relational stress. He also uses Internal Family Systems (IFS) - a parts-based approach that helps people understand and work with different inner voices or emotions in order to heal attachment wounds, codependency, and patterns that interfere with self-love and intimacy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears regularly in his work to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for improving self-esteem, communication, and career-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Aaron collaborates with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Aaron is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from wherever one is located, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life with fewer barriers.
