About Lisa

Lisa Aragon is a person-centered counselor who emphasizes a warm, collaborative approach. She guides people through stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges with straightforward, practical strategies. Lisa holds the LPC credential (Licensed Professional Counselor) and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work in Colorado.

She focuses on clear communication and goal setting. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and trying small steps that can make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Her background also includes academic coaching and vocational rehabilitation, which inform how she supports people aiming for school or work goals. Lisa has worked with individuals facing trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. She uses evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing.

These methods help address thoughts, emotions, and behavior in ways that feel manageable. She also brings mediation training from the U.S. Department of Justice and experience helping people with disabilities connect to meaningful work.

That practical experience shapes how she helps clients navigate complex situations like divorce, blended family issues, or chronic illness. Lisa aims to create a respectful, direct space where clients set their own goals. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and supports people step by step as they work toward clearer communication, better coping, and realistic next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people clarify their own goals and build confidence by encouraging self-direction and practical choices.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of responding to anxiety, depression, or stress with concrete exercises.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for handling anger, relationship conflicts, and strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress and preferences change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options let people work on communication skills, coping tools, and practical problem solving from wherever they are, fitting therapy into busy routines and different life demands.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
