About Aaron

Aaron Baskin is a Colorado-licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people navigate mood concerns and life transitions.

Background and approach

He centers work on clients' strengths and personal stories, encouraging people to build on what already helps them while addressing challenges such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, anger, and attention concerns. Aaron emphasizes practical strategies alongside deeper exploration so clients can find clearer paths forward.

His approach treats clients as collaborators rather than passive recipients, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and on client-centered principles that honor each person's perspective. He also integrates existential and narrative ideas to explore meaning, purpose, and the stories that shape identity, as well as solution-focused steps to create manageable change.

With three years of clinical experience and an LPC credential, Aaron offers supportive guidance for career questions, self-esteem, relationship and communication struggles, and other life issues like isolation, financial stress, and trichotillomania.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Many clients find cognitive behavioral therapy useful for addressing unhelpful thinking and establishing concrete behavior changes; this approach is often used to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and mood instability. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully, affirming strengths, and creating a collaborative space where the client’s perspective shapes goals and pacing. Existential therapy can be helpful when people are exploring meaning, life purpose, or big transitions and want to examine values and identity alongside symptom relief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Aaron will collaborate with clients to identify which methods make the most sense based on individual goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns. That collaborative process allows techniques to be adjusted over time so therapy remains focused and relevant.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules, bridge geographical distance within Colorado, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. These options provide flexibility for ongoing check-ins, focused skills work, or deeper conversational sessions depending on what a client needs.
