About Aaron

Aaron Bunker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He has eight years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life challenges. He aims to help people feel seen and empowered as they work toward clearer goals and healthier connections.

He earned a master’s degree in counseling and completed a post-master’s internship at a large nonprofit counseling center in the Houston area. After licensure he continued work in the nonprofit sector and in private practice, building experience across many cultural and identity backgrounds.

Over time he added focused training in couple work, including Gottman Method-informed approaches, and has experience addressing sexual health topics. He balances couple-focused methods with attention to each person’s individual needs and history.

In sessions he creates a calm, open space where people can talk through sensitive topics. He tends to blend practical tools with exploration of attachment and relationship patterns. Expect conversational, straightforward sessions aimed at real-world change.

He works with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and fatherhood issues, ADHD, mood concerns, career stress, and problems with communication, codependency, and commitment. He also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce, adoption and blended family challenges.

How attachment, client-centered work, and CBT translate online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions can explore these patterns through discussion and in-session exercises that highlight interaction styles and emotional responses.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective without judgment. In an online setting this means the therapist offers empathic reflection, gentle questions, and space to name what matters most right now.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Remotely, CBT often includes short homework tasks, thought records, and practical experiments people can do between sessions to test new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single model from the start.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online appointments can help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients try tools at home between meetings. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep steady progress while managing everyday responsibilities.
