About Aeron
Aeron DeGroat is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and concerns related to gender and sexuality.

Her style aims to empower clients while also offering gentle challenge and accountability.
Aeron brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions.
Background and approach
She presents as an authentic person rather than a blank slate and invites open conversation about how social and cultural forces affect mental health. Topics she routinely addresses include sexual assault and abuse, post-traumatic stress, attachment and abandonment struggles, and feelings of guilt or shame.
In the therapy room she talks directly about how race, culture, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, religious or generational trauma, and current events shape daily life. No topic is off limits; she encourages exploring the full context of distress to find useful changes. Her approach balances support with accountability to help clients move toward clearer goals.
People often work with her on communication problems, workplace stress, questions of life purpose, and young adult transitions. She also supports those working through gender dysphoria and questions about sexuality. Sessions use common online formats so clients can find a workable way to meet.
Aeron aims to help clients build self-love and practical coping skills. She encourages small, steady steps and focuses on strategies that fit each person's life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Aeron uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to anxiety, trauma, and identity-related concerns. One common approach is trauma-focused work that helps people process upsetting experiences and reduce symptoms like hypervigilance or intrusive memories. This approach aims to help people make sense of what happened and build coping tools for daily life.She also uses approaches that address self-image and eating-related concerns by focusing on behaviors, thoughts, and practical steps to change patterns. These strategies often include learning alternative responses to negative body image and creating routines that support healthier relationships with food and self-care.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Aeron works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress is made. She encourages open feedback about what feels helpful so the work stays focused and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller interaction and longer sessions, phone can be a simpler alternative with less bandwidth, live chat provides a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy days while keeping continuity of care.
