Lisa Aragon, LPC

Lisa Aragon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience helping people through anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She uses a person-centered approach that focuses on each person’s strengths and goals. Lisa aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of where someone is right now.

She blends practical skills with supportive listening. That means working together to set clear goals, practice new ways of coping, and change unhelpful thinking patterns when needed. Lisa also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with stress and emotional regulation.

Her background includes academic coaching and advising, which informs how she supports people working toward education and career goals. She has also worked in vocational rehabilitation, helping people with disabilities find meaningful employment. These roles shape a practical, goal-oriented style in sessions.

Lisa brings mediation training from the U.S. Department of Justice and strong communication-focused tools to conversations about relationship strain, blending family issues, and conflict. She uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them.

People often come for help with parenting stress, coping with life changes, body image, and midlife crisis concerns. Lisa aims to create a plan that fits a person’s daily life and helps them move toward clearer purpose and better functioning.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. In this approach the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense emotions and relationship strain.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that match their needs and preferences. Goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels helpful will guide how sessions are structured and which tools are used.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online therapy can help fit work, school, or family schedules by removing commute time and allowing check-ins from different locations. It can also make it easier to maintain regular practice of skills like mindfulness between sessions and to schedule shorter focused check-ins when that works better for a client’s day.
