Lisa Aragon , LPC

Lisa Aragon is a person-centered counselor with ten years of experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. She brings a practical, strengths-based approach to therapy that emphasizes collaboration and clear communication, helping individuals clarify goals and build skills to move forward. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) she combines clinical training with real-world experience to help clients improve relationships, manage stress, and boost self-esteem.

Her background includes work as an academic coach and advisor, where she helped college students develop study strategies and succeed academically, and as a vocational rehabilitation counselor assisting individuals with disabilities to find meaningful work. Those roles inform her interest in career development and life planning alongside traditional mental health care. She is also trained as a mediator through the U.S. Department of Justice, which supports her ability to address communication challenges and family or relationship conflict with skill and neutrality.

Known for clear guidance and practical tools, she works with individuals facing trauma, parenting challenges, grief, chronic illness, and a range of emotional concerns such as anger, isolation, and guilt. She recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and approaches each person with respect, patience, and an aim to help them meet their life goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Aragon integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership that helps people explore values, build self-awareness, and find their own solutions; it is well suited to concerns like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life purpose. CBT offers structured, skills-based work to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping with stress and pain. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotional regulation and relationship effectiveness are priorities - DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what feels most helpful and adjust the plan over time to support progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that best supports engagement and consistent care.
