About Aaron
Aaron Silverman is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on relationships, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career questions. He also focuses on attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, emptiness, forgiveness, jealousy, life purpose, men's issues, and self-love.
Aaron says his formal schooling named things, but life taught him how they feel. He uses those life lessons in sessions and draws on many people he meets to learn and improve his work. In conversation he aims to help people become more congruent - to align what they feel and what they do - so relationships feel clearer and less strained.
In sessions he combines his personal approach with evidence-based techniques. He mentions mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral tools as strategies he uses to address emotional and relational goals. These tools are presented simply and practically during conversations.
Aaron emphasizes practical change. People work on expressing themselves more directly, reducing internal conflict, and improving how they connect with loved ones. He frames sessions as collaborative and focused on tangible shifts rather than abstract promises.
He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The process is oriented toward clear goals for relationships, work, and self-understanding.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Aaron uses several well-established techniques in his work. Mindfulness practices help people notice strong emotions and calm their reactions, which can reduce reactivity in relationships. Internal Family Systems helps people map different inner parts so they can change self-critical or people-pleasing patterns. Cognitive behavioral strategies offer concrete steps to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.Choosing a therapeutic approach is something to work out together. He will listen to concerns and goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on how a client responds. The collaboration helps identify which combination of practices best supports better communication, stronger boundaries, and clearer self-direction.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let someone use audio-only when bandwidth is low or choose video when a fuller conversation feels helpful. These practical benefits are discussed when arranging the first appointment so sessions suit everyday routines.
