About Patrick
Patrick Aaron (Aaron-Brown) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and related issues. He brings ten years of experience in social work and mental health settings. He speaks English and practices from Georgia.
He holds LCSW and CSW credentials and has worked in roles such as case manager, hospital social worker, family consultant, and behavioral health specialist. He aims to help parents and family members manage difficult feelings and practical problems.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. He listens first, then helps people set small steps they can try between meetings. His work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused methods, and client-centered principles.
That means helping people notice thoughts and reactions, work on emotions in relationships, and shape goals that fit their values. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques are also part of his toolkit when helpful. Patrick’s background includes supporting people with ADHD-related behaviors, grief and loss, aging and geriatric concerns, and trauma.
He has experience with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, and multicultural challenges. He also brings familiarity with HIV/AIDS-related and LGBTQ matters. He uses practical problem-solving and supportive strategies along with evidence-informed therapies.
He encourages perseverance, flexibility, and clear steps to build self-worth. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online family work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. In practice this means the therapist follows the family’s priorities, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own solutions. That approach is useful when families need a calm space to talk and be heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and experimenting with new reactions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, looks at emotions within relationships and helps people change how they respond to each other. This approach can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and improving attachment between family members.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the family about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients help shape what is tried and what stays in the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options allow meetings from home, make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, and let people choose the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent care across a range of issues.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
