About Aaron
Aaron Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 10 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career changes, parenting pressures, and family problems. He also lists codependency among his focus areas.
Aaron helps people who struggle with intrusive thoughts, obsessive compulsive tendencies, and anxiety. He has worked with addiction and co-occurring disorders and with veterans facing related challenges. He uses straightforward language in sessions and aims to help clients set practical steps they can use between meetings.
His approach centers on forming a working alliance where the client decides what matters most to change. He practices motivational interviewing to clarify values and readiness and uses solution-focused techniques to outline small, achievable goals. Cognitive behavioral strategies are applied to unpick thinking patterns that keep problems going.
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are also part of his toolbox. These approaches are used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and to choose actions that align with personal values. Sessions emphasize skill building, relapse prevention for substance issues when relevant, and concrete coping tools for panic and mood symptoms.
He keeps a small caseload to spend focused time with each person. Sessions are offered in English and take place in Oklahoma. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Aaron uses evidence-based approaches online
Aaron commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD. ACT teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, then choosing actions that align with what matters most to the person.He also uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down, notice patterns, and use brief exercises to manage stress and intrusive thoughts. During sessions he and the person work together to choose which approaches fit the presenting problems and the person's goals. That collaborative decision making is revisited as goals shift or new challenges emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of doing this work remotely include easier fitting of sessions into a workday, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. Online meetings can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples into conversation. Aaron aims to match method and pacing to each person's needs as part of the first sessions.
