Devyna Aguon, LICSW

Devyna Aguon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strain, or problems with relationships and self-worth.

She has 14 years of experience and has spent much of that time working in school settings with children and teens. That work included supporting social, emotional, and behavioral needs and helping young people build practical coping skills.

Devyna approaches counseling from a trauma-informed, holistic perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people identify clear goals and take achievable steps toward them.

Sessions emphasize collaboration. Clients set priorities and Devyna helps break problems into manageable pieces, introduce everyday skills, and practice new responses to stress and difficult emotions.

She also brings attention to cultural factors as a member of the BIPOC community, aiming to create a supportive space that respects identity and background. Her style is relaxed and adapts to what each person needs.

People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward guidance, skill-building, and a focus on practical change. She encourages small steps that add up to lasting differences in daily life.

How approach and access meet online care

Devyna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building on a person’s own strengths to guide change. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and boosts confidence to take steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and personal preferences. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and doable rather than overwhelming.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people have longer conversations and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, or caregiving demands.
