Does Online Therapy Actually Work?
You're skeptical. The idea of doing therapy through a screen feels like it should be less than the real thing. I had the same skepticism. That's not what happened.

You've noticed the pattern. Maybe it's the same kind of argument showing up in every relationship. Maybe it's a way of responding to stress that you know doesn't serve you but that you can't seem to stop. Maybe it's a tendency to abandon things (projects, friendships, goals) right before they become real. (If you're in a PhD, you may recognize this as the way academia amplifies this pattern.)

“I came in thinking I knew what my issues were. I'd been over them a hundred times. But those were just the things I could already see. Aaron helped me notice what I couldn't, and that's where everything actually started to change.”
- M.J.
“I'd been in and out of therapy for years. Different therapists, different approaches, none of it really stuck. Aaron helped me understand more in a few months than all of them combined. And he talked to me like a normal person, not like all this weird therapy-speak.”
- S.A.
“A few years ago I suddenly developed prolonged panic attacks but couldn't begin to understand what had caused them. Having been in therapy in the past, and being a counseling intern student, I felt I had exhausted my resources trying to figure out “What is wrong with me?” I can honestly say Aaron provides a form of counseling that is difficult to find anywhere else regarding efficacy. Not only has his approach been effective, but he also has provided me a safe space to explore aspects about myself I may not otherwise have felt able to. I cannot recommend him enough as he has helped me feel more myself than ever before.”
- K.R.
