About Scarlett

Scarlett Aguilar is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and the uncertainty that follows life changes. Scarlett focuses on practical support for people who feel stuck or unsure what comes next. Her sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens for what feels most urgent and helps people name the next manageable step. Conversations often include looking at communication patterns, attachment concerns, and thoughts that keep someone feeling stuck. Scarlett also addresses related issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency, commitment worries, and problems with control. She will talk through ways to cope after difficult events, including natural or human-caused disasters, and works with feelings like emptiness, guilt, and shame. She describes treatment planning as collaborative. Scarlett adapts the conversation and plan based on each person’s present concerns and goals. That means checking in about what helps and changing direction when something isn’t working. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and the cost varies with location. Prospective clients should use the site’s matching flow to choose among the online therapy options and schedule their first meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Scarlett uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. One common technique involves identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new ways of responding to anxiety or low mood; this helps people test practical changes and notice what shifts in daily life. Another approach looks at attachment and communication patterns in relationships, helping people see recurring dynamics and practice different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scarlett treats the choice of method as collaborative and will help you decide which techniques fit your goals and preferences. That means talking about what you want to change, trying methods in session, and adjusting based on what helps most.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list explicit formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Confirm the current session options through the site’s matching process before scheduling so you know what formats are available.
