She focuses on helping people who are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and sleep-related concerns.

Her perspective includes faith-informed elements when clients want that included. She aims to help people find meaning and resilience without pushing any single path. The pace and focus come from the client's priorities and practical goals.
People who work with Dr. Aaker can expect a compassionate, direct style. Sessions emphasize clear steps, breathing and grounding techniques, and strategies to improve rest alongside emotional processing. She invites clients to try options and then adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption tied to rumination. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing them with small behavior changes to improve mood and rest. CBT often includes sleep hygiene and routine-building techniques.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they try approaches for a few sessions and adjust based on what proves helpful for sleep, stress, or daily functioning.
The original biography does not specify which online session types are offered. Confirm available formats before scheduling so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another method. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep a regular plan and apply new strategies to improve sleep and daily coping.
