About Lisa

Lisa Aragon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with ten years of experience helping people manage depression, anxiety, and relationship strain. She works with adults who are juggling parenting, work, and major life changes. Her background also includes academic coaching and vocational rehabilitation, which inform a practical, goal-focused style.

She uses client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on what matters most to each person. That means spending sessions listening to priorities, clarifying next steps, and checking what is actually helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when they fit the concern, for example managing anxiety, mood, or intense emotions.

Lisa brings experience supporting people with parenting stress, blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and grief. She also works with concerns around career, chronic illness, body image, codependency, and coping after trauma or abuse. Practical problem solving is a common element of her work.

She has professional mediation training through the U.S. Department of Justice and experience helping students and people with disabilities connect to careers. Those roles contribute to a focus on clear communication and realistic planning. Sessions tend to include structured tools and brief skills practice when helpful.

Starting a first session begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to talk. Lisa uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options and formats before booking.

How sessions work

How Lisa’s approaches shape online sessions

Lisa uses client-centered therapy to guide sessions, which means the conversation starts with the client’s priorities. The therapist listens for what feels most urgent and helps set short-term goals that fit day-to-day life. This approach works well for parenting stress and relationship worries because it keeps the work practical.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and problem solving around work or family routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings make communication harder.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, try tools in session, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan changes as needed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example shortening travel time, fitting a check-in during a break, or choosing a session length that matches a morning or evening routine. Licensed professionals can offer structured skills practice and goal planning in remote sessions just as they do in person.
