About Devyna
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, mood changes, parenting strain, or major life transitions. She also supports those managing grief, trauma, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and questions about self-worth.
Devyna listens without judgment and treats each person as the expert on their own life. She believes people cope as best they can with the tools they have.
How Devyna works
When life becomes harder, she helps people add new skills to handle day-to-day stressors and emotional pain. Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience, with much work in school settings supporting children and teens with social, emotional, or behavioral needs. That experience shaped a practical style that adapts to age, situation, and what each person prefers in a session.
Therapeutically she blends approaches that match real problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change.
Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods guide short-term goals and recovery after difficult events. As a member of the BIPOC community, she makes cultural awareness part of her practice. The pace and tone of sessions are relaxed and collaborative.
Together with each client she sets clear goals and works step by step toward them. Devyna offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Devyna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and mood problems. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process difficult experiences and reduce the ways past events interfere with daily life. That approach helps when memories, strong reactions, or post-traumatic stress get in the way of functioning.Finding the right approach happens together. She listens to each person’s goals, preferences, and life context and then suggests methods that fit. Sessions may borrow from CBT, trauma work, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused techniques depending on what will help most for the immediate goals.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when camera time is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, shorter exchanges, or when a written record of steps and exercises is useful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still following a clear plan of work with a licensed professional.
