Aaron Beaudry, LICSW

Aaron Beaudry is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. He focuses on concerns that often affect later life, including aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life questions, and feelings of isolation or lost purpose. He also offers an affirming space for LGBTQ people facing emotional challenges.

With 25 years of practice, Aaron uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also weaves Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols into conversations when that fits. Mindfulness practices are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity.

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Aaron talks through problems, helps set small goals, and supports clients as they test new ways of coping. He emphasizes concrete strategies people can use between meetings as well as time to reflect on loss and purpose.

He holds a Minnesota LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and he brings a long history of work with older adults and caregivers. The tone in his work is warm and respectful, and he centers each person's values when planning next steps.

People who choose him typically want practical tools, thoughtful listening, and steady support during major life transitions. If that sounds like what you need, Aaron guides each person at a careful, manageable pace.

How these approaches translate to online work

Aaron commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in his practice. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns that worsen mood and then testing small changes in thinking and behavior to reduce stress and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing exercises to help calm the mind and manage strong emotions.

Choosing an approach is a team process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. If something doesn't fit, he will adjust the focus so work feels useful and manageable rather than confusing.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It also lets people keep continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so clients can practice skills at home and bring questions back to therapy.
