About Holly
Holly Aragon is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of experience based in Colorado. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Holly aims to make the first steps toward change feel less overwhelming for anyone who reaches out.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about hard things. Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client’s story.
Background and approach
Holly listens for patterns and meanings that get in the way of feeling connected and stable. Holly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult experiences and re-author the stories they live by. She draws on Client-Centered principles to keep the work collaborative and focused on what matters most to the individual.
Mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are also woven in when someone needs tools to manage intense emotions. Her experience includes adoption and post-adoption concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and caregiving stress. She also supports people facing divorce, infidelity, communication breakdowns, isolation, and guilt or shame.
Holly pays attention to how family history shows up in present relationships. People who prefer a thoughtful, story-focused approach tend to fit well with her style. She works at a steady pace, balancing reflection with practical strategies.
The aim is clearer thinking, fewer reactive patterns, and a stronger sense of agency.

How narrative and skills work online
Holly often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from painful events and rewrite the stories that shape daily life. Narrative work focuses on the meaning someone gives to events and helps identify alternative, more helpful storylines. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person’s priorities and the therapist listens closely to reflect what matters most to them.For people who need emotion regulation strategies, Holly brings in elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy - practical skills for tolerating distress and improving emotional balance. These skills can be useful for managing anxiety, strong reactions in relationships, or spikes of shame and guilt. Together she and the client choose which approaches fit the situation and goals, adjusting the plan as needed in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets conversations feel closer to in-person work, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it possible to try different ways of connecting until the client finds what feels most helpful.
