About Aaron
Aaron Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and related concerns. He focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use right away. He aims to build a working relationship where clients set goals and decide what to change.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented to reduce overwhelm and get clients moving forward. Aaron has about ten years of clinical experience and practices in Oklahoma.
Background and approach
He has spent much of his work supporting people with substance use challenges, relapse prevention, and co-occurring mental health concerns. He also helps people managing obsessive thoughts, panic, mood problems, and grief. Veterans and people with trauma histories are a noted focus within his background.
Therapy sessions emphasize collaboration and respect for each person’s choices. Aaron uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help clients identify small, achievable steps toward change.
He keeps a small caseload so sessions can be consistent and focused. That gives time to track progress and adjust plans when needed. Parents and individuals dealing with family stress, codependency, or midlife transitions can work on practical strategies and coping skills in sessions.
Aaron works with people on issues like eating and food-related struggles, sexual addiction concerns, self-harm thoughts, and financial stress. He guides people through short-term problem solving and longer-term change efforts, always centering the client’s priorities and pace.
Using ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness in online sessions
Aaron commonly combines cognitive behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness work to help people change unhelpful patterns. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like panic and intrusive thoughts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills that help people notice urges, cravings, or anxious thoughts without automatically acting on them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Aaron will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. He adapts techniques as progress is made, combining short-term problem solving with longer-term skills practice so the plan matches what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and teaching skills that benefit from demonstration. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick updates, brief coaching between appointments, or a way to reflect without being on camera. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity of care.
