More about Aaron
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
Graduated with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health counseling in May 2018.
The counseling process can be difficult. My work experience in helping professions, coupled with my education, and experience I have gained through different populations, have prepared me to connect in an authentic way. Finding meaning and purpose in our lives can be difficult to navigate alone. Having someone to help process the anxiety that life brings can be life changing.
Finding your coping mechanisms and awareness of your strength can help you connect with your emotions. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, existential angst, identity formation, communication issues, children, adolescents, couples, groups, probation, and prison populations.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I started working with Aaron James about a month ago. Every session brings insights even if I don't like it ha-ha. But I appreciate the direction we're headed! Thanks Aaron.
I've only just started working with Aaron for a couple of weeks but I knew immediately that he takes his work seriously and I was a priority, and that getting to know me, and how he was going to go about his approach to help me was paramount. Aaron, listens and asks great questions and challenges me. He's very patient and on time and is always a couple of steps ahead of me which is a good thing. Very intuitive. I'm blessed to have been connected with him. I highly recommend Aaron.
Aaron has been amazing so far we’ve been working for about 2 months now and I can honestly say he’s changed my perspective on therapy as a whole. I was extremely reserved when starting but he’s got a way of making it very comfortable and doesn’t waste a lot of time I feel like I get a bang for my buck each session.
He's awesome
My life just did a big turn, I had no idea that it can be that easy to do things right and better for your marriage, I did learn a lot with therapy, James is a really nice person that helped and teach me a lot of stuff that just saved my marriage when I was almost done, I’m so grateful that I reached for help and he was there. Always grateful

Aaron listens well and provides great insight on how to maneuver through difficult situations.
Aaron is very patient, considerate, professional, encouraging, and down to earth. I'm very lucky to have him as a therapist.
I love how Aaron is able to stay on topic and break down different points. I also love how he does check ins and if I'm not feeling my best he doesn't just encourage me to schedule a session, but he also sends me a worksheet for me to read/work to help me in the meantime. He seems personal and professional. 10/10 recommended.
He is the first counselor I have had that I have stuck with because of the respect and trust I have for him. He has been very helpful in my track of healing and coping

Aaron lets me talk about whatever it is that I feel like addressing in that day and time.

Highly recommend him!

It’s the perfect design for me because I recognize solution-based problem solving. And his ability to correlate solutions with real life events in my life helps to reinforce my therapy. Aaron James deserves his flowers, he is the best.

I’m very happy with Aaron!!!
Aaron James is the counselor I’ve been looking for. He is very organized and sympathetic. He doesn’t judge me and is helping me get on the right track.
Just got done with my very first counseling session with Aaron and I feel like I’ve finally came up for air. I was nervous about seeking help, thinking I would be judged.
