Aaron Skobel Therapy provides individual psychotherapy in San Carlos from a private office at 7290 Navajo Rd, Suite 113, San Diego, CA 92119, near the intersection of Navajo Road and Golfcrest Drive. Aaron Skobel holds an LCSW credential and specializes in depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, life transitions, divorce, relationship conflict, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. Chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions frequently co-occur with the depression and anxiety presentations in Skobel's caseload, and patients managing both dimensions work between the therapy office and rehabilitation providers such as PhysioFixx Physical Therapy in San Carlos to address the physical component alongside the psychological one. The clinical framework combines cognitive-behavioral interventions with mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing, structured around a treatment plan developed during the initial assessment and revised as symptoms shift. Walk-and-talk therapy sessions take advantage of the San Carlos landscape — the office sits less than a mile from the Cowles Mountain trailhead and the Lake Murray reservoir loop, and outdoor sessions combine physical movement with therapeutic processing in a way that reduces the clinical-setting inhibition some patients report. The practice accepts Medi-Cal and works with out-of-network commercial insurance plans, providing superbills for reimbursement so patients can file with their carrier directly. Telehealth sessions extend the practice's reach across California for patients who cannot attend in person, using HIPAA-compliant video platforms for real-time individual therapy. Inflammatory and autoimmune conditions treated by integrative practitioners such as Daoist Aesthetics in San Carlos can produce mood and cognitive symptoms that overlap with primary psychiatric diagnoses, creating a clinical interface between acupuncture-based care and psychotherapy. The 92119 ZIP places the office in the Lake Murray and Cowles Mountain corridor, a residential area where families, retirees, and post-military residents make up the core patient demographic.
