About Devyna
Devyna Aguon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work often addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and caregiver strain.
Devyna draws on 14 years of experience, much of it in school settings supporting children and teens with social, emotional, and behavioral needs. She believes people are already doing their best with the skills they have and can learn new tools to manage day-to-day demands. In sessions she helps clients set clear, achievable goals and works side by side to reach them.
Her clinical style is influenced by trauma-focused and holistic perspectives. Devyna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and she applies Motivational Interviewing to support clients who want to change but feel stuck. She also uses Solution-Focused methods to build on strengths and Collaborative Problem Solving to work through concrete challenges.
Devyna emphasizes a culturally aware practice as a member of the BIPOC community and aims to create a supportive environment. Her manner is relaxed and adaptable so sessions fit each person’s needs and preferences. She presents herself as someone who listens first and helps people recognize their own strengths.
Getting started is presented as a concrete step; she encourages people to be gentle with themselves for taking that step. Sessions are paced to the individual, with an emphasis on practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
