About Aaron
Aaron Hurtado is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with eight years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Aaron uses a calm, curious stance to guide people through difficult moments.
He honors each person’s identity and life story while working alongside them toward clearer goals. He draws on several practical methods when meeting with someone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the person’s own priorities and strengths. Mindfulness practices and breathwork are used to help people notice their body’s signals and manage heightened emotions. Aaron also brings psychodynamic ideas into sessions to look at patterns that repeat over time.
He often combines these approaches rather than relying on just one method. Sessions can include talking, simple exercises, and skills to use between meetings. People who connect with Aaron tend to want a respectful, steady therapist who listens first and offers clear steps next.
He tailors plans to each person’s situation and goals. That could mean short-term problem solving or slower, deeper work depending on what the person wants. Aaron offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
He works with adults seeking help for life changes, grief, stress, and concerns tied to sexuality and identity. The first step is a brief matching questionnaire to schedule a session.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. In this approach the therapist listens closely and follows what matters to the client, which helps when someone wants a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk about anxiety or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It offers concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be useful for stress and anxiety management.
Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions to help with emotional regulation and awareness of bodily signals. These practices can be done during video or phone sessions and as short exercises between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose and adapt methods based on goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and changing course when needed.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and demonstrations of skills. Phone calls can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging allow quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue steady progress.
