About Aaron
Aaron Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with ten years of practice. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, grief, anger, and related concerns. He also focuses on codependency, OCD, veteran issues, and substance use problems.
He trained at the University of Oklahoma and has spent a decade helping people with addiction and co-occurring disorders. Much of his work has centered on relapse prevention, obsessive-compulsive struggles, intrusive thoughts, and impulse control problems. He also supports people managing mood disorders and grief.
Aaron takes a straightforward, collaborative approach. He aims to build a working alliance so clients can decide what they want to change. Sessions look at practical steps and skills rather than lengthy theory. He emphasizes self-determination and avoids judgment while helping set clear goals.
His methods mix solution-focused work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to help with distressing thoughts and urges. This combination is intended to reduce unhelpful reactions and increase flexibility in daily life.
He keeps a small caseload to spend focused time with each client. That gives room for concrete planning, relapse prevention strategies, and checking progress. People who want to handle strong emotions, reduce relapse risk, or get a clearer plan often find this style practical and direct.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Aaron often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them. ACT can help with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and strong urges by teaching values-based action alongside mindful noticing. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that feed distress. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as changing unhelpful thinking, building new routines, and practicing behavioral experiments to reduce anger, panic, or depressive symptoms. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. That means sessions can shift between short goal-focused work, skills practice, and acceptance-based exercises as needed. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, do brief check-ins, or practice skills between meetings. It can also reduce travel time and allow for consistent follow-up while the therapist and client decide which methods are most useful.Areas of expertise
