About Scarlett
Scarlett Aguilar is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. She helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship struggles. Scarlett also supports people coping with life changes and problems such as communication difficulties, commitment worries, and feelings of emptiness.
She keeps sessions direct and respectful. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs instead of using one fixed method. Scarlett listens for patterns like attachment concerns, codependency, or struggles with control, and she works with clients to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on practical steps you can try between meetings. That might mean new ways to handle upsetting thoughts, short exercises to rebuild confidence, or communication practice for tense conversations. The emphasis is on small changes that add up over time.
Scarlett brings five years of clinical experience in California to her work. She describes herself as compassionate and sensitive, aiming to create a calm space for people to talk through painful topics such as abandonment, shame, or family conflict. Treatment plans are adjusted as needs change.
Therapy with her uses conversations plus at-home practice tailored to your situation. She encourages people to notice progress, ask questions, and shape the pace of work. Many clients begin by targeting one or two problems and expand from there.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Scarlett draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and stress. This helps people notice which worries are accurate and which can be challenged.Another common approach centers on building stronger relationships and communication skills. Sessions include role-play and step-by-step practice so people can try new ways of speaking and setting boundaries. This is useful for addressing codependency, commitment concerns, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Scarlett will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust techniques as progress is made. The plan is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, and steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
