About Lisa

Lisa Aragon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with a person-centered sensibility to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she draws on practical strategies to address relationship and communication challenges, self-esteem concerns, parenting issues, and trauma-related difficulties while supporting career and life-purpose questions. Her background includes roles as an academic coach and advisor, and work in vocational rehabilitation assisting people with disabilities to pursue meaningful employment.

Those experiences inform a strengths-based approach that emphasizes clearer communication, goal setting, and problem solving. She also has professional mediation training through the US Department of Justice, which enhances her ability to facilitate constructive conversations and resolve conflicts.

Lisa aims to make beginning therapy approachable and collaborative, helping each person identify priorities and develop tools that fit their daily life. She practices in Colorado and offers sessions in English, applying evidence-informed methods such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support coping, growth, and practical change.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

Lisa integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered principles to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills while honoring each person's goals and values. CBT offers structured strategies for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress, while client-centered work emphasizes empathy and collaboration to shape a plan that fits day-to-day life.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities; DBT techniques provide concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationship interactions. Together these approaches give a mix of skill training and supportive listening to help clients move toward clearer communication and more effective coping.

Finding the right therapeutic method is a collaborative process; she will work with clients to select techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow flexibility to meet people where they are, making it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family, or other commitments. These options support consistent access to therapy and allow her to deliver evidence-informed care in ways that fit each client's life.
