Lisa Aragon

Lisa Aragon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who uses a person-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Lisa emphasizes clear communication and steady support as clients work toward their goals.

She brings ten years of experience from counseling, academic coaching, and vocational rehabilitation. That mix means she often helps people manage school or work challenges alongside emotional concerns. Her background also includes professional mediation training through the U.S. Department of Justice, which informs how she guides conversations about conflict.

In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness, and motivational interviewing helps people find the reasons behind change. Lisa keeps language direct and offers tools that can be practiced between meetings.

She helps people address relationship and family issues by improving communication skills and setting clearer boundaries. She also works with people navigating major life changes, chronic illness, body image concerns, and the emotional aftermath of trauma and abuse. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented.

Lisa encourages taking small, steady steps toward lasting change. She invites prospective clients to begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a time to talk about current struggles and goals.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and helping you set goals that matter. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow your lead and adapt each meeting to what you need that day.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online meetings the therapist will guide exercises, homework, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive symptoms.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. Delivered remotely, DBT skills can be practiced in between sessions and reviewed together during meetings to build consistency.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your goals, needs, and daily routine. That may mean trying a mix of strategies and adjusting over time based on what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about session lengths and scheduling to find what works best for you.
