Lisa Aragon , LPC

Lisa Aragon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a person-centered way of working. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at practical change and clearer communication.

She draws on ten years of experience supporting people through life transitions and parenting challenges. That experience includes academic coaching and vocational rehabilitation work with people living with disabilities. Those roles shaped her focus on goals, independence, and meaningful daily routines.

In sessions she prioritizes clear communication skills and real-world tools. That can mean practicing ways to talk about needs, setting small goals, or learning skills to manage strong emotions. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing methods.

Her work also addresses issues common for women, including body image, midlife questions, caregiving strain, and the emotional impact of illness or cancer. She helps people sort through feelings like guilt, shame, anger, or emptiness and supports practical next steps for change.

People who choose her will find a collaborative style that centers the person's goals. She encourages steady progress through simple, doable steps. Signing up starts with a brief questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client's life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. It involves active listening, reflecting what the person says, and helping them guide the direction of work. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into specific patterns and practicing new responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through skills like emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying out techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people see and hear a therapist much like an in-person visit, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options provide flexibility to practice skills between sessions and maintain regular contact with licensed professionals.
