Aaron Duckworth , LCSW

Aaron Duckworth graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2010 and brings a decade of clinical experience to his practice. He holds an LCSW, a license in clinical social work, and an LADC/MH, a credential in alcohol and drug counseling with a mental health focus, and he is licensed to practice in Oklahoma. Aaron has worked extensively with individuals facing addiction and co-occurring disorders, relapse prevention, veteran-related concerns, trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, impulse control challenges, self-esteem difficulties, and self-harm.

Aaron has a particular passion for supporting people who struggle with anxiety, OCD, and intrusive thoughts. His therapeutic style centers on building a collaborative alliance so the client can manage current struggles while preserving self-determination. He encourages clients to identify what matters most for them to change, and he approaches that work without judgment. Aaron relies on a mix of solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help clients move toward their goals. He intentionally maintains a small caseload to allow focused attention and tailored support for each person he works with.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Aaron often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical strategies for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and teaching skills to change those patterns, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, OCD, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Aaron collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, inviting clients to try techniques and adjust direction based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for scheduling flexibility and continuity of care from different locations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain regular contact between sessions when needed, and choose the style of communication that feels most comfortable.
