Aaron Bunker , LPC

Aaron Bunker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, mood disorders, and a range of family and life transition issues. He brings eight years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural, racial, religious, sexual, and gender backgrounds, aiming to help each person feel seen, valued, and empowered to move toward their goals.

After completing his master’s degree in counseling, he undertook a post-masters internship at a large nonprofit counseling center in the Houston metro area and continued serving in nonprofit settings alongside private practice work. He has pursued additional training in couples work through John Gottman method training and has also trained as a certified sex therapist. This combination of formal education and targeted training informs his thoughtful integration of evidence-based techniques into individualized care.

Aaron creates an open, respectful space for exploring sensitive topics and persistent patterns, honoring each person’s story and strengths while supporting practical change. He emphasizes collaborative work that meets clients where they are and builds toward the life and relationships they want to create.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Aaron draws from attachment-based work to explore how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and emotional responses. This approach helps clients understand needs around closeness and trust and is useful for relationship conflicts, attachment wounds, and long-standing intimacy concerns.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to help people identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal oriented, and it can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life changes.

For couples, Aaron integrates principles from the Gottman Method, focusing on communication skills, managing conflict, and strengthening friendship and connection within relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aaron works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier, allow continuity of care despite geographic or time constraints, and support people in accessing licensed professionals from familiar settings.
