About Aaron

Aaron Hurtado (he/him) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience in health and mental health settings. As an LCSW he is trained to provide clinical assessment and psychotherapy, and the CSW credential indicates additional clinical social work training. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate grief and loss, address issues related to sexuality and LGBT experiences, and rebuild self-esteem and motivation during life transitions.

Aaron combines a curious, open stance with practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based approaches. He also integrates body-centered practices such as breathwork, somatic awareness, and nature-based interventions, informed by his experience as a registered yoga teacher, to support clients in recognizing and regulating physical arousal.

His work attends to a wide range of concerns including aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions of life purpose and midlife change. He develops individualized treatment plans that honor each person’s values and goals, offering respectful, compassionate support aimed at restoring hope, clarity, and practical coping skills.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual’s experience, with the therapist offering empathy and support while the client guides the pace and focus of sessions. This approach is helpful for exploring identity, values, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Mindfulness Therapy builds present-moment awareness and uses breath and attention practices to reduce reactivity and support regulation, which can be useful for chronic pain, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aaron works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access, especially for people managing caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or busy routines. These options allow consistent work on goals and skills from locations that fit a client’s life while maintaining the same therapeutic focus and professional standards offered in traditional settings.
