More about Aaron

  • 12 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

So much in life tears us down and tells us 'we're doing it wrong.' We get in the way of ourselves, undermining our own best efforts. Let's face it; we can be our best enemies sometimes. We're each in the middle of our own lives and heaven knows we could all use someone looking in from time to time to help us see what we're missing. We're not meant to go it alone. You and I both know it just doesn't work that way. It takes each of us get through this life together.

Those clients who walk through my door aren't broken, and so don't need fixing. All that's usually happened is they've miss-placed their keys. So we go looking for them, finding those doors they've closed, don't remember locking, or maybe are too afraid to open.

I would love to help you see the good you already do. Let's see if I can assist in resolving any concerns you might now have. By meeting, talking and getting things figured out, I know we can do anything. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
