Hi my name is Aaron Duckworth .I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2010. I am a Licensed Clinic Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor/Mental Health (LADC/MH). I am licensed in the state of Oklahoma. My experience consist of assisting individuals with addiction and co-occurring disorders, relapse prevention, veteran issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, impulse control issues, self esteem issues, and self harm. I really have a passion for working with clients struggling with anxiety, OCD, and intrusive thoughts.
My style of therapy is that of building an alliance with a client to assist the client in managing their current struggles. I believe in self determination which allows the client to decide what is important for them to change without judgement. My approaches to therapy include solution focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness. I strive to maintain a very small case load which allows me an opportunity to assist each client on their journey to change.

Aaron has been my lifeline or safety net or whatever you want to call it. With no exaggeration i have found him here to support me and make me reconsider suicide over 5 times in 3 months just by being here and being attentive and honest and making me feel that he genuinely cares.

Aaron is the first therapist I've ever enjoyed working with. He's sympathetic, friendly, and helps me get to the point of what I'm trying to work on. I wish I could send my friends to him. I think that he has really helped me.
