Lisa Aragon, LPC

Lisa Aragon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with ten years of practice helping people facing depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. She uses a person-centered style that puts the client's goals and values first. Her work often focuses on improving communication, managing stress, and building self-esteem.

She blends practical strategies with collaborative conversation. That can look like setting small, doable goals, practicing new ways to respond in tense moments, and noticing unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and mindfulness practices to help people cope with problems that feel overwhelming.

Her background includes roles as an academic coach and advisor, which inform how she supports people juggling school and life demands. She has also worked in vocational rehabilitation, helping people with disabilities pursue meaningful work. These experiences shape a strengths-based way of planning next steps and solving real-life problems.

Communication skills are a particular focus. She helps people talk through recurring conflicts, set clear boundaries, and repair trust after breaches. She also has mediation training through the U.S. Department of Justice, which adds tools for negotiating difficult conversations.

Lisa helps people facing living-with-health-challenges concerns such as chronic pain, cancer, or disability-related stress by focusing on coping strategies and practical problem solving. She welcomes straightforward conversations about goals and offers a calm, goal-oriented approach to make steady progress.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own values and goals and creates space for the therapist to follow what matters most. It is helpful when someone needs a supportive listener who helps them organize priorities and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaching practical strategies to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, including techniques for distress tolerance and mindful awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose or combine methods based on the issues, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying a few strategies and adjusting what isn’t helping until a better fit is found.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use mindfulness practices and skill exercises during or between sessions to support coping with chronic pain, illness, or other living-with-health-challenges concerns.
