Lisa Aragon, LPC

Lisa Aragon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She uses straightforward, person-focused care to help clients set goals and make practical changes. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.

Her work blends cognitive behavioral ideas with a client-centered stance. That means sessions often look at unhelpful thoughts and small behavior changes while staying focused on each person's values and priorities. Lisa also draws on dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness to help regulate emotions and manage intense moments.

Before focusing on therapy, she spent time as an academic coach and advisor, helping students build routines and study strategies. She also worked in vocational rehabilitation, supporting people with disabilities as they pursued meaningful employment. Those roles shaped a practical, problem-solving approach to counseling.

Lisa brings training in mediation from the U.S. Department of Justice and uses communication skills to help people improve how they relate to others. Sessions tend to emphasize clearer communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust where it's been damaged.

Her style is calm and collaborative. She helps people define reachable steps, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress. Lisa encourages anyone taking the first step toward help and meets clients where they are in their journey.

How Lisa Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Lisa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. She also incorporates client-centered methods that prioritize each person's goals and pace, giving space for people to set the agenda and feel heard.

She may also use dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. DBT skills are practical tools for managing intense moments, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions. Together these approaches give both skill-building and supportive listening in sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is or isn't helping.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, homework questions, or when typing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
