About Aaron

Aaron Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience based in Oklahoma. He helps people who are managing anxiety, obsessive thoughts, addiction, depression, trauma, and related concerns. He also accepts referrals for relationship strain, grief, anger, self-esteem, and life changes.

Aaron focuses on practical steps a person can try between sessions. He uses concrete tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Sessions aim to clarify what the client wants to change and outline small, doable next steps.

His approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices. He also draws on solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing when those fit a client's goals. The emphasis is on specific skills rather than long theoretical explanations.

Aaron describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client decides priorities without judgment. He keeps a relatively small caseload to allow more focused attention on each person. The tone in sessions is direct and practical, with clear homework and progress checks.

Clients can expect work on thought patterns, behavioral experiments, values-based goals, and relapse prevention strategies where addiction is involved. He has experience addressing veteran concerns, mood and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and self-harm risk, and uses those experiences to shape concrete plans for safety and coping.

How Aaron uses structured approaches for online work

Aaron commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises, behavioral experiments, and short homework tasks that can be practiced between meetings.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and increase willingness to experience difficult thoughts while taking value-driven action. Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention skills and reduce reactivity to intrusive thoughts or cravings.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. The choice of techniques comes from the client’s needs and what works in practice.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm available formats before booking.

Aaron emphasizes practical tools that can be applied in everyday situations, whatever the session format selected.
