Aaron Duckworth , LCSW

Aaron Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma. He has about 10 years of experience helping people who are coping with anxiety, depression, addiction, and difficult life changes. He focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Aaron listens without judgment and helps people choose what they want to change.

Aaron's work often centers on anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and addiction concerns. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, relationship strain, career stress, and eating or body image issues. He has experience addressing co-occurring disorders and veteran-related concerns.

In sessions Aaron builds a clear plan with each person. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with other approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness. He also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people move forward.

Aaron emphasizes client choice and self-determination. He keeps a small caseload so he can give focused attention to each person. That makes it easier to adjust pacing and set concrete goals that fit a person's life.

People who try his approach can expect straightforward, short-term strategies and longer work when needed. He aims to help people reduce symptoms, handle triggers, and build routines that support recovery and day-to-day coping.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Aaron commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT often includes short exercises and homework that work well between online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and painful memories. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and improve emotion regulation; these practices can be guided in a video call or reinforced via text exercises.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Aaron will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what is helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, values work, relapse prevention, or problem-solving strategies.

Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let a therapist and client work through exercises face to face. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and step-by-step coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or recovery schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
