About Aeron
Aeron DeGroat is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. She centers work on building self-esteem and helping people manage the daily pressure that wears them down. Aeron aims to be a supportive presence while also encouraging growth and accountability.
Aeron commonly helps people dealing with body image struggles, eating and food-related issues, and challenges around gender dysphoria.
Background and approach
She addresses abandonment and attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse. Workplace stress, finding life purpose, and issues common to young adults are also areas she pays attention to. Her style is direct and authentic.
She does not hide behind a blank slate and believes it helps when therapists name real-world forces that affect mental health. That can include discussions about sexism, transphobia, racism, religious and generational trauma, and social pressures. No topic is off limits when it matters to the clients story.
Sessions aim to balance support with honest challenge. Aeron encourages self-care, self-love, and practical steps people can use between meetings. She works collaboratively to set goals and to track small changes over time.
Aeron has seven years of clinical experience and holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. She offers services in English and provides sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging for people located in Florida.
Approaches that inform online work
Aeron uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on trauma healing and identity support. Trauma-focused work often involves helping people process distressing experiences in small, manageable steps and building tools to reduce symptoms like intrusive memories and hyperarousal. Identity-affirming approaches center the client's sense of self and help people navigate gender identity, sexuality, and related stressors with validation and practical coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Aeron will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs and goals. She discusses options, checks in about what feels helpful, and adjusts methods as the work progresses so the plan matches the client's preferences and pace.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is wanted. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and day-to-day support possible without scheduling a full session. These formats help people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
