About Devyna
Devyna Aguon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington with 14 years of experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and related concerns. She also addresses parenting, ADHD, addiction, anger, and caregiver stress in her practice.
She has substantial experience working in school settings, supporting children and teens with social, emotional, and behavioral needs. That background shaped how she thinks about everyday pressures and developmental transitions common in early adulthood. Her work is grounded in the idea that people do the best they can with the skills they have right now.
In sessions she focuses on practical skill building. She helps people set clear goals and practices strategies they can use between meetings. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral approaches, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-informed methods. The emphasis is on learning new ways to manage stress, mood, and relationships.
Devyna identifies as a member of the BIPOC community and makes culturally competent practice a priority. She describes her style as laid back and adapts how she works to each person’s needs and preferences. She aims to treat clients as experts in their own stories and to build on existing strengths.
To begin, she asks people to name the goals they want from counseling and then works with them to reach those goals. The initial steps focus on concrete changes and skill development that fit the person’s life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone wants a steady place to talk through decisions, identity questions, or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools for mood, anxiety, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of helping people move toward change when they feel unsure or stuck, especially for goals around addiction, routines, or life transitions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist choose methods to try and adjust them as needed so the plan fits the person’s goals and rhythm of life.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. Some approaches, like short check-ins or skills practice, adapt well to remote sessions while more intensive trauma work may unfold differently online. Ask about session length and format when scheduling so meetings match daily routines and needs.
