Aaron Beaudry, LICSW

Aaron Beaudry is a licensed independent clinical social worker with twenty-five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes. He focuses on issues like isolation, caregiver strain, life purpose, and challenges related to aging. He also offers a supportive space for LGBTQ people facing emotional concerns.

Aaron keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps clients name problems and try small changes that can make daily life easier. He uses exercises and conversations to build coping skills and reduce worrying thoughts.

His work often blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and Jungian perspectives. That means Aaron helps people notice thought patterns, practice present-moment calm, and reflect on deeper personal meaning when useful. He tailors methods to each person rather than following one fixed plan.

Many clients meet him to cope with caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life questions, or the loneliness that can come with aging. He helps people sort priorities, set manageable goals, and find more satisfying ways to spend time.

Aaron practices in Minnesota and brings decades of clinical experience to each session. He aims to make therapy understandable and usable, focusing on clear steps clients can try between meetings. His style is steady, respectful, and goal-oriented.

How Aaron's Approaches Work Online

Aaron blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients make change in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can calm the mind and improve moment-to-moment coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Aaron talks with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then they try methods together. He adjusts the plan over time based on what the client finds useful and doable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and stay connected to a licensed professional from wherever they are in Minnesota.
