Patrick Aaron (Aaron-Brown), LCSW, CSW

Patrick Aaron (Aaron-Brown) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and issues related to LGBT identity or intimacy. He also supports people facing anger, life transitions, ADHD-related behaviors, and concerns tied to adoption, caregiving, and aging.

He uses a straightforward, person-centered style in sessions. He listens first, then helps clients set small, practical goals. Conversations often focus on building perseverance, flexible thinking, and stronger self-worth. He also draws on problem-solving strategies and supportive techniques that clients can try between sessions.

His background includes roles as a family and child services case manager, medical/hospital social worker, family consultant therapist, and behavioral health specialist. Those roles shaped his work with diverse communities and deepened his appreciation for different life experiences. He also holds a certificate in Nurturing Parenting Instruction.

Patrick combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with emotionally focused and client-centered approaches when useful. He often introduces simple mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing prompts to increase readiness for change. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person can do day to day to feel better.

He practices in Georgia as LCSW and CSW. If someone wants to start, they usually complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist helps people name their concerns and sets goals that match their values, which can make change feel more manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with emotions to improve connection and closeness, which can be useful for intimacy-related issues and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps therapy collaborative and tailored to the person's needs.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that focus on skill practice or brief problem-solving. It also gives flexibility for people who need quieter surroundings, less visual bandwidth, or shorter meetings during a work break. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and EFT strategies to an online setting to keep sessions practical and goal oriented.
