About Devyna
Devyna Aguon, LICSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. She works with parents and young people who need practical support for relationships, school stress, ADHD-related struggles, or traumatic experiences. Her tone is calm and down-to-earth, and she focuses on clear goals you can reach together.
She draws on 14 years of experience in Washington, much of it in school settings supporting children and teens with social, emotional, and behavioral needs.
Background and approach
That background means she often uses straightforward strategies that parents and young adults can put into practice right away. Sessions center on identifying steps that fit daily life and building skills that reduce worry and improve functioning. Devyna uses a trauma-informed, holistic lens to see how past hurts and current stress connect.
She blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to break problems into manageable parts. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure or stuck about making changes. She names strengths first and invites people to set their own goals.
In session, that means talking through realistic steps, trying small changes, and reviewing what helps. The approach is flexible and adapts to each person’s pace and needs. As a member of the BIPOC community, she emphasizes culturally competent care and a supportive atmosphere.
The focus is on practical progress - clearer routines, better coping tools, and less daily overwhelm.
How her approaches work online
Devyna commonly uses client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing in online work. Client-centered listening means sessions focus on what matters most to the person and build plans from their strengths. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by exploring values and boosting motivation.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. That might mean trying a CBT skill for a few weeks, then shifting to solution-focused steps or using motivational interviewing to set an action plan.
Offering sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat or text works well for quick check-ins or brief problem-solving. These options help people fit therapy into school, work, or busy family days while still working on practical skills and progress.
