Dylan Aguiar, LICSW

Dylan Aguiar, LICSW, works with adolescents, adults, and couples who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, and self-esteem concerns. He is especially passionate about helping teenagers and young adults, an age group in which he has developed a strong reputation for building genuine, trusting therapeutic relationships. Dylan believes meaningful progress begins when clients feel understood, respected, and comfortable enough to be themselves, regardless of where they are in their journey.

His approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each individual. Rather than applying the same treatment plan to every client, Dylan works alongside each person to understand their goals and create a path that fits their unique needs. He incorporates evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Gottman Method techniques when appropriate. Whether clients are processing past trauma, learning healthier coping skills, improving communication, or working through difficult emotions, therapy is focused on creating meaningful and lasting change.

Dylan earned his Master of Social Work degree from Rhode Island College and is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Throughout his career, he has worked with individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges across outpatient mental health settings. His clinical style emphasizes authenticity, empathy, and accountability, creating an environment where clients feel supported while also being encouraged to make meaningful progress toward their goals.

Aguiar's Counseling Services offers secure telehealth appointments, providing flexible options to meet clients wherever they are most comfortable. The practice is committed to making high-quality mental health care accessible while fostering a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can develop insight, build resilience, and create lasting positive change.
