Devyna Aguon , LICSW

Devyna Aguon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting strains. She sees individuals coping with trauma, grief, anger, addiction, and low self-esteem. Devyna offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She has 14 years of experience and has spent a lot of time working in school settings supporting children and teens with social, emotional, and behavioral needs. That background means she often draws on clear, simple strategies that fit busy lives and family routines. Sessions begin by deciding goals the client wants to reach and then working toward them together.

Her approach is trauma-informed and holistic. She uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques to build skills for stress management and coping with life changes. Devyna emphasizes strengths and practical tools people can use between sessions.

As a member of the BIPOC community, she prioritizes culturally competent care and creating a supportive atmosphere. Her style is described as laid back and adaptable, changing to match a person’s needs and preferences. She encourages people to take small steps and recognizes that asking for help can take courage.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s perspective first and focuses on listening, understanding, and supporting each person’s own goals. This approach is useful for people who want a calm space to talk through parenting stress, life changes, or self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and coping with everyday stressors.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and builds motivation to take small steps toward those goals. It can be helpful for addictions, shifting habits, or making difficult life decisions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods that fit. That conversation can change over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good when visual connection helps the conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging formats suit quick updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and daily routines.
