About Jon
Dr. Jon Freda is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY4988) with 25 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, career questions, grief, trauma, and life purpose concerns. He also works with stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, caregiver strain, and burnout-related problems like compassion fatigue.
He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to address thoughts and daily habits that keep problems active. Existential methods are used to talk about meaning and purpose after big life changes. Sessions include concrete actions that are tracked over time so people can see what works.
His background includes university teaching, executive and behavioral coaching for large corporations, Navy service, and work with performing artists and media professionals. He has used improvisation exercises in sessions to open up different ways of responding to challenges. That practical angle often appeals to people who want specific steps rather than long, open-ended discussion.
In the room he typically mixes short-term problem solving and longer conversations about values and direction. He sets goals together with each person and reviews progress against those goals. The focus is on making manageable changes that fit into everyday life.
Dr. Freda provides services in Florida and conducts sessions in English. He does not accept international clients. Before scheduling, people should confirm the current session options and any logistical details.
