About Aeron
Aeron DeGroat is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and issues often seen in LGBTQ people and survivors of trauma. She also helps with life purpose concerns and struggles with self-esteem and body image.
Aeron uses a direct, engaged style in sessions. She does not stay neutral or silent; she brings her full self and talks openly about how systems and identity affect mental health. She encourages accountability alongside support and will challenge clients when that is helpful.
She pays close attention to how race, culture, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, and other social forces shape feelings and behavior. Those topics are not avoided and can be discussed alongside personal history and symptoms. This includes work on gender identity and transgender-related concerns when relevant.
Practical skills and focused conversation are common parts of her sessions. She helps people talk through communication problems, workplace stress, and difficulties with eating or body image. She also works with issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress.
Sessions aim to combine real-world problem solving with reflection about meaning and purpose. Aeron supports people who are asking what comes next after a change in work, relationships, or health. To begin, follow the site flow to match and schedule a first appointment.
How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Many clients benefit from structured, evidence-based techniques that focus on symptoms and behavior. Cognitive approaches help identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. These methods are useful for stress, low mood, and repetitive negative thoughts.Trauma-focused strategies target reactions that follow abuse or assault. These approaches help people process traumatic memories, reduce intense reactions, and build skills for managing triggers and flashbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can evolve over several sessions.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also let some people use audio-only sessions when camera time is difficult. Ask about current online session options when you complete the questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.
