About Aaron
Aaron Silverman is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with relationship and intimacy problems, anger, self-esteem, and career questions. He also works with issues such as attachment, codependency, communication problems, emptiness, forgiveness, jealousy, life purpose, men's issues, and self-love.
Aaron describes himself as someone who learns from life and from the people he meets. He focuses on helping people become more congruent - meaning their choices and actions line up with who they want to be. Sessions are focused on practical change and clearer emotional response rather than jargon or long theory talks.
He draws on several evidence-based techniques in session. He uses mindfulness to help people notice their impulses and calm intense moments. He also uses parts work, psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, and cognitive-behavioral tools to address patterns that keep repeating in relationships and at work.
Aaron aims to help people express their influence and handle difficult feelings without shutting down or exploding. He works toward reducing internal conflict and improving how people relate to those around them. Conversations include straightforward reflection, skill practice, and planning concrete steps to try between sessions.
Clients can expect a direct, engaged style that combines life experience with clinical practice. Aaron emphasizes moving toward clearer behavior and fewer recurring arguments. He encourages small experiments that build confidence and better connection over time.
How sessions work
How Aaron’s approaches translate to online work
Aaron commonly uses mindfulness practice to help people notice body sensations and urges before they act. Mindfulness can help when anger flares by creating space to choose a response rather than react. Parts work, often called Internal Family Systems in some settings, helps name different feelings or impulses and learn how they relate to one another; it is useful for sorting out mixed motives in relationships and behind anger.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Aaron works with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Over the first sessions he will suggest experiments and check in about what feels most useful, adjusting methods as needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or allow someone to join without traveling to an office. It also supports regular practice between meetings, such as guided mindfulness exercises or homework that can be reviewed in subsequent sessions.
