About Aaron

Aaron Bunker is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings eight years of clinical experience to his work. He practices in Texas and focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar issues, parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges. Aaron aims to help people feel seen and more able to handle what’s in front of them.

He trained in counseling at the master’s level and completed a post-master’s internship in the Houston metro area.

Background and approach

After licensure he worked in non-profit settings and in independent practice. Over time he added training in Gottman Method couples work and sex therapy to broaden his skills. His credential is LPC, Texas license number TX LPC 70721.

Aaron uses several established approaches in sessions. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behavior. He uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits.

He also brings client-centered and emotionally-focused tools to help people feel understood and to strengthen connections. In sessions he keeps the space open and direct. He listens closely, asks practical questions, and helps clients try small, specific changes between meetings.

He aims for clear steps rather than long theory talks. People meet with him for issues like communication problems, commitment or intimacy concerns, parenting worries, career strain, ADHD challenges, or coping with life changes. He also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and blended family matters.

If someone wants to begin, the process starts by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a session based on therapist availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can help clients notice patterns in attachment, name the feelings involved, and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. In remote sessions Aaron uses practical homework and step-by-step plans to change thinking and behavior between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions and then change interaction patterns that keep distress going. Through video or messaging, clients can work on expressing needs and trying new responses with guidance. Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That choice is reassessed over time as progress and needs change. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face from home. Phone sessions and live chat offer alternatives for those who prefer less video. Text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
