About Aaron
Aaron Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of personal struggles. He emphasizes simple, practical steps and works to build a trusting relationship so parents feel heard.
He aims to help people manage anxiety, addiction issues, mood problems, intrusive thoughts, and the stress that comes with parenting and life changes. Aaron draws on ten years of clinical experience supporting people facing relapse prevention, trauma, depression, obsessive compulsive patterns, impulse-control challenges, and self-harm.
Background and approach
He also brings attention to financial stress, career worries, grief, and relationship strain when those issues affect family life. He often supports people dealing with veteran-related concerns and midlife transitions as they connect to daily functioning. In sessions he uses straightforward, evidence-based methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches values-based goals and ways to act despite difficult feelings. He also employs solution-focused work and motivational interviewing to move clients toward clear, achievable steps.
Aaron favors a collaborative approach that centers client choices without judgment. He keeps a small caseload to give focused attention to each person. Sessions can be arranged in formats that suit busy family schedules and varying needs.
He provides services in English and is licensed in Oklahoma as LCSW number 5033.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Aaron commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that cause problems and replacing them with practical alternatives; it is useful for anxiety, OCD, panic, and mood symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings show up; it is often helpful for stress, intrusive thoughts, and life transitions.The choice of approach is a shared decision. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what strategies feel most useful. Together they try a few methods and adjust as progress and needs become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so parents and caregivers can fit therapy into busy days. These options make scheduling more flexible, let people continue care from different locations, and support ongoing work between longer sessions with brief check-ins or messages.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
