About Aaron
Aaron Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with ten years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and anger concerns. He also supports people coping with grief, eating and parenting challenges and midlife or career changes.
Aaron spent his early career helping people with substance use and co-occurring mental health issues. That background includes relapse prevention and work with veterans, trauma, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, impulse control, and self-harm. He often focuses on anxiety, OCD, and intrusive thoughts.
In sessions he prioritizes building a working alliance so clients can target what matters to them. He emphasizes self-determination and avoids judgment while clients decide which behaviors to change. His approach is practical and action oriented rather than theoretical.
Aaron commonly uses solution-focused methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing to set clear goals and steps. He also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices to help manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions include skills practice and problem-solving alongside reflective conversation.
He keeps a small caseload to allow focused attention to each person’s progress. For adults who want straightforward, practical support with anger, anxiety, addiction, or related issues, Aaron offers structured sessions that aim to reduce urges, improve coping, and increase everyday functioning.
How sessions work
How Aaron’s approaches translate to online work
Aaron draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful habits and respond differently to difficult thoughts. CBT breaks challenges into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and targets small, testable changes. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and taking actions that reflect what matters to the person.He also uses mindfulness to build simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices are brief and practical, aimed at helping someone pause before reacting to anger or strong urges. These approaches are commonly used for anxiety, OCD symptoms, addictions, and anger-related patterns.
Figuring out the right mix of methods is part of the work. Aaron will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean more skills practice, behavioral experiments, or motivational conversations depending on what the client wants to change.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins during a workday, or reduce travel time. Practical exercises, homework, and moment-to-moment coaching translate well to remote sessions when both parties agree on how they will connect.
