About Devyna
Devyna Aguon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, parenting challenges, and relationship problems. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day to manage strong feelings and solve immediate problems.
Devyna draws on short-term, skills-focused approaches to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. Solution-Focused work identifies small, concrete goals to build momentum.
Her background includes extensive work in school settings supporting children and teens with social, emotional, and behavioral needs. That experience informs how she explains strategies in simple, actionable terms. She frames challenges as skill gaps that can be addressed rather than personal failures.
Devyna describes her style as laid back and collaborative. She says clients are experts in their own stories and that therapy is about choosing goals together and practicing new ways to respond. She also notes the importance of culturally competent care as a member of the BIPOC community.
People who contact her can expect straightforward conversations, goal setting, and practical skill work for managing anger, caregiver stress, codependency, trauma reactions, or life transitions. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete steps to use between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps people clarify what matters to them and set personal goals to reduce anger or stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques for noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which can reduce reactivity and rumination.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change. It uses guided conversation to strengthen motivation and choose small, achievable steps toward managing difficult emotions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
