About Aaron
Aaron Hurtado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado. He brings eight years of focused experience in health and mental health settings and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, and questions around self-esteem and life purpose. Aaron aims to help people rediscover a sense of themselves after difficult life changes.
He uses a blend of talk and body-aware techniques to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and learn simple ways to manage it.
Background and approach
He also supports concerns related to sexuality and LGBT matters with sensitivity. Sessions are collaborative and practical. He asks curious questions, listens closely, and helps set small, achievable goals.
Breathwork and gentle somatic practices are offered when useful to increase awareness and calm. Aaron draws on several therapy approaches, including client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. He often brings in mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people build new habits and clarify values.
Nature-based ideas are used sometimes to connect changes in thinking with movement and the outdoors. He treats each person with respect and builds plans to fit their situation. Aaron notes that he currently offers sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays and encourages people to consider scheduling when they are ready to begin.
How the approach translates to online therapy
Aaron commonly uses somatic-informed work to help people notice where stress lives in the body and try gentle breath or movement practices to reduce tension. These practices are offered in simple steps and can be done on a video call or over the phone when guided by the therapist.He also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them and set goals that feel personally meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot patterns in thinking and try small experiments to shift unhelpful habits and reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adjust techniques based on a person's needs, goals, and comfort level so the plan fits the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make scheduling easier and let people check in from home or work. The variety of formats supports flexible pacing, follow-up between meetings, and continued practice of skills learned in sessions.
