Devyna Aguon, LICSW

Devyna Aguon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, anger, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than labels or jargon.

She draws on work from school settings supporting children and teens, and brings that practical, hands-on perspective to adult sessions. Devyna assumes people are doing their best with the skills they have and that new strategies can be learned. In conversation she helps clients name specific goals and breaks those goals into manageable steps.

Her clinical practice uses approaches that emphasize what people do and try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change patterns of thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing supports finding motivation to make needed changes. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, useful shifts that add up over time.

Devyna also works from a trauma-informed frame, which means she pays attention to how past events can shape reactions now. She notes caregiver stress, codependency, control issues, financial worries, and family-of-origin problems among common concerns she addresses. Anger and coping with sudden changes are included in that list.

As a member of the BIPOC community she aims to use culturally aware practices. Her style is described as laid back and collaborative; she treats clients as the experts on their own stories and helps them build on existing strengths.
