About Lisa
Lisa Aragon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career questions, parenting challenges, anger, trauma and life changes. She also addresses family concerns and coping with major health issues.
Her approach is practical and focused on changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals.
Lisa's background includes roles beyond therapy. She has worked as an academic coach and advisor to support students in college. She also has experience as a vocational rehabilitation counselor helping people with disabilities pursue meaningful work. These roles inform how she helps clients set realistic steps toward work and school goals.
She brings communication skills into sessions to help with relationship and family conflicts. She is trained in mediation through the US Department of Justice and uses those negotiation and listening techniques when people want to improve communication.
Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, skill practice, and small experiments to test new ways of handling stress and conflict. Lisa encourages straightforward planning for next steps and checks progress each week. If someone wants practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning, she focuses on methods that can be practiced between sessions.
How CBT and related methods are used in online sessions
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint thoughts and behaviors that worsen problems and to practice new skills that change how people respond. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns.She also uses client-centered methods that focus sessions on the person’s goals and priorities, letting the conversation guide what to work on next. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are key concerns; these skills teach concrete ways to manage intensity and set boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then agree on a plan. That plan may mix CBT, client-centered listening, and DBT skills depending on what the person wants to change.
Confirm current session options before booking. The practical advantages of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a work or school day, fewer transit demands, and the ability to choose quieter surroundings for focused skill practice. Some formats can also make short check-ins or skill reviews simpler. Ask about available session types when scheduling so arrangements match daily routines.
