    About Devyna

    Devyna Aguon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She often supports clients facing grief, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. Her style is laid back and centered on listening first.

    Devyna draws on 14 years of experience, much of it in school settings where she supported children and teens with social, emotional, and behavioral needs. She believes people are doing their best with the skills they have, and that new skills can be learned when life becomes hard. Sessions begin by identifying clear goals and working step by step toward them.

    Her work is influenced by a trauma-informed, holistic perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are weighing tough choices or trying to find reasons to change.

    Devyna also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches to build on strengths and find concrete next steps. She values culturally competent practices as a member of the BIPOC community and aims to make the space supportive and respectful.

    If someone prefers a relaxed, collaborative therapist who listens and helps set practical goals, Devyna offers that approach. To begin, she asks people to identify what they want from counseling and then works with them to reach those aims.

  2. Approaches that translate to online care

    Devyna commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people weigh options and find their own motivation to change, which can be useful for addictions, behavior change, and ambivalence. She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can improve mood and daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her practice as well, focusing on listening, validating experiences, and building on the client's strengths.

    Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. From there she tailors sessions and suggests practical methods to try, checking in to see what works.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online care can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives by removing commute time and allowing sessions from a familiar daily routine. It can also allow shorter check-ins, more flexible hours, and easier coordination around work or school commitments. A conversation about goals and logistics will clarify how best to proceed.
