About Aaron

Aaron Duckworth is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in Oklahoma with ten years of experience. He helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and related problems. He also works with people facing trauma, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and eating or impulse-related concerns.

Aaron focuses on building a practical working relationship. He encourages clients to make their own choices about what to change and how to move forward. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to relapses, intrusive thoughts, and other recurring difficulties.

He uses a mix of brief, skills-based strategies and longer problem-solving work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult thoughts while taking action on personal values. Mindfulness practices are used to calm reactivity and increase awareness.

Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach when people need help finding reasons to change. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, practical goals and track progress. Together these methods are applied to concerns such as substance use, OCD symptoms, and family-related stress.

Aaron draws on his clinical experience with veteran issues, relapse prevention, and co-occurring disorders. He keeps his caseload small so he can focus on each person’s immediate goals and practical steps.

How sessions work

How Aaron uses evidence-based methods online

Aaron commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems in place and teaching practical skills to change them. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of getting stuck in struggle.

He also integrates mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness. These approaches are often used for anxiety, obsessive thoughts, substance use concerns, and parenting stress. The clinician and client decide together which approach fits the person’s goals and preferences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and how much structure they want. That conversation guides whether sessions focus on skill practice, motivational work, or short-term solution goals.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, have shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel. The emphasis is on practical access and matching the method to everyday life rather than promising a particular format.
