About Aaron

Aaron Hurtado is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Colorado. He brings eight years of mental health experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and questions about identity and self-esteem. Aaron uses straightforward, human-centered work to help people find steadiness during life changes.

He tailors each session to the person in front of him. Sessions often begin with the client describing what feels most urgent.

Background and approach

From there Aaron helps break problems into smaller steps and sets realistic goals together. His approach mixes practical skills and reflective work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns in thinking and test new behaviors.

Client-centered methods keep the client’s own goals and values at the center of the process. Aaron also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to build awareness of body states and to help manage intense feelings. He draws on his background supporting people through aging, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and sexuality concerns when these are part of a client’s life.

People who reach out can expect an open, respectful style and a focus on usable tools. Aaron aims to help clients feel more capable of handling day-to-day stress and clearer about their next steps. He works with each person to create a plan that fits their pace and priorities.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Aaron commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can improve mood and reduce anxiety. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can practice between sessions.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow what matters most to the client. The therapist listens closely, reflects what you say, and helps you clarify your goals and values.

Mindfulness practices are included to increase awareness of bodily states and emotional reactions. These tools can help with stress regulation and make it easier to use other coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aaron will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using one approach more heavily at first and adjusting over time based on what helps.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation when convenient. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is hard. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step planning, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help fit care into a busy life and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
