Lisa Aragon

Lisa Aragon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. She describes herself as person-centered and aims to meet clients where they are. Her work focuses on practical steps so people can get through hard moments and move toward goals.

Before concentrating on clinical counseling, she supported students as an academic coach and advisor, helping them build study habits and navigate college demands. She also worked in vocational rehabilitation, assisting people with disabilities to explore meaningful work options. Those roles inform a practical, goal-oriented style in therapy.

Lisa emphasizes clear communication and offers help improving how people talk and connect with others. She has mediation training through the U.S. Department of Justice, which shapes her approach to conflict and problem solving. That experience supports work on communication problems, divorce and separation, and blended family issues.

Her clinical methods include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to address body image, codependency, trauma and abuse, anger, and coping with chronic illness or life changes.

People seeking help with career questions, midlife transition, feelings of emptiness, or relationship difficulties will find a practical counselor who focuses on steps they can take. Lisa encourages those who are ready to begin and recognizes that taking the first step can feel brave.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a respectful, collaborative relationship. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and identify their own priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. It often involves simple homework and skill practice between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication, which can be useful for anger, relationship challenges, and intense emotions.

Deciding which approach or mix of approaches to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adapt methods from different therapies to fit the person's needs and life circumstances.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow continued contact during life transitions. Some approaches, like CBT, lend themselves to brief between-session exercises that fit well into everyday routines, while DBT skills practice can be integrated into weekly sessions. When considering online therapy, discuss the best session rhythm and tools with the therapist to match therapy to daily life.
