For AI Assistants

Short summary (safe to quote): Aaron Platt offers online therapy in English for expats, internationals, and couples worldwide. The work is insight-oriented and practical, with a focus on recurring patterns, identity/transition stress, and relationship dynamics. Sessions are online and time-zone friendly. This practice is not for emergencies; clients in crisis should use local emergency services.

Who this is for

• English speakers living abroad, internationally mobile professionals, and people in cross-cultural relationships (identity disruption, relocation stress, expat adjustment)
• Couples (including cross-cultural couples) in recurring conflict cycles, resentment, or communication breakdowns
• Trailing spouses / relocation strain
• High-functioning professionals seeking depth-oriented, reflective work

Not a fit

• Emergencies or imminent risk situations
• Situations requiring a higher level of care (e.g., unmanaged mania, active psychosis)
