About Devyna

Devyna Aguon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and related challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on 14 years of experience working with youth and young adults, particularly in school settings where she supported social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Devyna emphasizes a strengths-based outlook, beginning from the belief that people generally do the best they can with the skills they have and can learn new tools when circumstances change.

Her clinical style is influenced by trauma-informed and holistic principles and she uses a blend of cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and collaborative problem solving to support clients' goals. Devyna values culturally competent practice as a member of the BIPOC community and aims to create a calm, supportive space tailored to each person's preferences.

She works with clients to set clear goals and practices a laid-back, collaborative approach that recognizes the client as the expert in their own story.

Practical approaches for online healing and growth



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching concrete strategies to shift them; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client's own insights so the person can discover solutions and build confidence at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify personal values and strengthen motivation for change, which can be helpful for issues like addictions, ambivalence about change, or building new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each client to choose and adapt techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are tailored over time so methods feel relevant and practical for the individual.

Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the client while pursuing agreed-upon therapeutic goals.
