About Aen
Aen Brauer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and challenges related to self esteem and depression. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people take small, concrete steps toward feeling better.
She creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions often center on practical skills and clear goals so people can use what they learn between meetings. Aen encourages steady progress and respects each person’s pace.
Her background includes work with issues related to LGBT concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, and caregiving stress. She also supports people facing eating and body image struggles, life changes, chronic illness, and complex family of origin issues. This range gives her experience with many different challenges people bring to therapy.
Aen draws on several approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She combines these methods to match what each person needs rather than using a single fixed style.
People who seek her help typically want a practical, compassionate partner for change. She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new skills, and make choices that fit their values and daily lives.
