Aaron Duckworth , LCSW

Aaron Duckworth graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2010 and practices as a licensed clinician in Oklahoma. He holds the credential Licensed Clinic Social Worker (LCSW) and is also a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor/Mental Health (LADC/MH). The LCSW denotes qualification to provide clinical social work services, and the LADC/MH reflects training in alcohol and drug counseling alongside mental health care.

Aaron brings ten years of experience working with people facing addiction and co-occurring disorders, relapse prevention, veteran-related concerns, trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, impulse control difficulties, low self-esteem, and self-harm. He combines clinical knowledge with practical strategies to support clients navigating complex emotional and behavioral challenges.

He has a particular focus on helping people who struggle with anxiety, OCD, and intrusive thoughts. His therapeutic approach centers on forming a collaborative alliance that empowers clients to identify and pursue the changes that matter most to them. Aaron emphasizes self-determination and works without judgment so clients can explore goals and make decisions at their own pace.

In practice he draws from solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness methods. By keeping a deliberately small caseload, he aims to give each person focused attention and sustained support through their process of change.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Aaron often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with mindfulness practices to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping clients clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness skills that can ease stress, improve emotional regulation, and support work with intrusive thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Aaron collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors his recommendations rather than using a single fixed model, and decisions about techniques are made together with the client.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access consistent support across distances. These remote options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow sessions from familiar settings, and enable ongoing contact between appointments, while still drawing on the same evidence-based approaches that licensed professionals use in person.
