About Lisa

Lisa Aragon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns. Her focus includes parenting, family issues, trauma and abuse, and life transitions such as divorce or career change.

She uses a person-centered approach in sessions, which means conversations start with the person's goals and priorities. Lisa also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques appear in her work when they fit a person’s goals.

Before counseling, she worked as an academic coach and advisor, helping students succeed in college. She also has experience as a vocational rehabilitation counselor supporting people with disabilities to find meaningful work. That background informs practical problem solving in sessions, like managing schedules, school demands, or job searches.

Lisa is trained in mediation through the US Department of Justice and uses communication-focused strategies to help people improve conversations and set clearer boundaries. She often helps clients who struggle with people-pleasing, codependency patterns, or difficulty saying no.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Lisa encourages straightforward skills practice, small behavioral experiments, and check-ins on what actually works between meetings. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Approaches in online sessions and what they do

Lisa uses client-centered work to start by listening and centering the person's goals. That approach helps when someone is unsure what to focus on or wants a conversational space to sort priorities. CBT, or cognitive behavioral work, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing people-pleasing habits.

DBT skills are another part of her toolkit for handling strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are practical and teachable, such as grounding exercises, emotion regulation techniques, and specific communication strategies for difficult conversations.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. Choices can shift over time based on what proves helpful in real life, and sessions will include simple skill practice and follow-up on how those efforts are going.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific delivery options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel on a bad day. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how to structure sessions to match your schedule and daily demands.
