About Scarlett
Scarlett Aguilar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges of major life changes. Scarlett also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, and patterns of codependency.
In sessions she favors clear, practical conversation. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck, like trouble saying no or losing personal boundaries. Together clients and Scarlett map small, doable changes rather than chasing big fixes. She focuses on skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and making choices that reflect each person’s priorities.
Her approach balances short-term relief with longer term skill building. That can mean practicing boundary-setting in role play, learning calm-down strategies for intense moments, or looking at how past relationships shape current reactions. Scarlett helps people notice repeated patterns and experiment with different responses.
She keeps explanations straightforward and avoids jargon. Meetings aim to be practical and readable so people can try things between sessions. Scarlett uses her five years of experience to guide goal-focused work while staying attentive to each person’s pace.
Clients come to her to get clearer about what they want and how to ask for it. She supports people who want steadier moods, clearer boundaries, and better communication in their close relationships.
How sessions work
How Scarlett’s approaches translate to online sessions
Scarlett uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotion regulation and relationship patterns. Emotion regulation work teaches concrete ways to notice rising feelings and calm the body or mind so reactions feel more manageable. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and intense moments that derail conversations.She also addresses attachment and relationship patterns by mapping repeated behaviors and practicing alternatives. That can include communication rehearsal and boundary-setting exercises to try between sessions. These approaches aim to shift how people respond in relationships rather than promise immediate fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scarlett treats the choice of techniques as collaborative and will adjust methods based on a person’s goals and what fits their everyday life. She checks in about what helps and what feels difficult so the plan changes as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on work breaks, or let someone avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can also use online meeting time to demonstrate skills, review homework, and support practice between appointments.
