Background and approach
Her work includes support for those coping with substance issues and recovery from domestic violence. Her approach draws on several methods that teach skills and shift unhelpful patterns. She uses exercises that encourage values-driven choices, tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and strategies to manage intense emotions.
Therapy sessions combine short-term problem solving with deeper work on attachment and personal history. Dr. Aaker brings a faith-informed perspective when clients want to include spiritual beliefs in their work.
She aims to help people build resilience, repair relationships with themselves, and find meaning after loss or upheaval. Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on small, achievable goals. Sessions often include practical homework and skills practice between meetings.
People can expect a collaborative process that looks at current struggles and the life patterns behind them. The goal is clearer choices, better coping, and steady progress toward personal goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite hard feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and meaning feel low.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is practical for sleep problems, anxiety, low mood, and managing anger through behavior changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for tolerating intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. It can help when strong reactions or relationship patterns cause repeated distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client will try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy makes these methods accessible through different formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging supports brief updates, coaching between sessions, and flexible check-ins. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
