About Aaron

Aaron Bunker is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and issues tied to identity and attachment. Aaron supports clients from a wide range of cultural, racial, religious, sexual, and gender backgrounds.

He trained for a master’s degree in counseling and completed a post-master’s internship at a large nonprofit counseling center in the Houston metro area. After licensure he continued work in nonprofit settings and in private practice. Over the years he has taken additional training related to couples work and sex therapy.

In sessions he uses approaches that focus on emotions, attachment patterns, and present-moment experience, alongside practical strategies to address thinking and behavior. He integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and aspects of the Gottman Method. That mix is used to help people identify patterns and try new ways of connecting and coping.

Aaron describes therapy as collaborative work. He listens to what matters most and helps set goals that fit daily life. Conversations are direct and focused on what the client needs right now.

If someone is looking for support with relationship patterns, communication, self-worth, or life transitions, Aaron provides ongoing talk therapy and coaching-style guidance to help people practice different ways of relating and managing stress.

How Aaron applies EFT, attachment work and CBT online

Aaron combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that focus on feelings, relationship patterns, and practical thinking skills. EFT centers on naming and tracking difficult emotions and the interaction patterns they create, which can help with intimacy and recurring conflict. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns to better understand how people seek closeness and safety in relationships. CBT offers concrete tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that reduce distress and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aaron collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. He listens to what matters most, tries different techniques, and adjusts the plan as the client’s needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, enable shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. A therapist and client can decide together whether to prioritize emotion-focused exercises, attachment conversations, or skill practice during remote sessions.
