Aeron DeGroat

Aeron DeGroat is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on issues like stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and body image or eating and food-related issues. Aeron aims to empower people while also offering challenge and accountability in sessions.

Aeron brings an open, present style to therapy and does not hide behind neutrality. She talks openly about how racial, cultural, and social forces shape wellbeing. That includes topics such as sexism, transphobia, homophobia, generational and religious trauma, and the effects of the current political and economic climate.

In sessions she balances encouragement with direct feedback. She invites discussion of all factors that contribute to distress. No topic is off limits and she aims to create a space where people can name what’s affecting them and start to change it.

Aeron has seven years of clinical experience and works with people navigating gender identity and transgender issues. She also focuses on women’s issues, sexuality, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Her approach centers on practical change alongside emotional processing.

People who meet with Aeron can expect a therapist who brings authenticity and clear conversation to each session. She emphasizes self-care, building self-love, and helping clients develop healthier relationships with food and their bodies.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Aeron uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process traumatic events and manage ongoing symptoms. Trauma-focused work typically involves naming what happened, understanding its impact, and building coping skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also works on body image and eating and food-related issues with practical strategies. This work can include changing unhelpful behaviors around food, challenging harsh self-talk, and building routines that support steadier eating and self-care.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Aeron will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try and how to adjust them over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Ask about the available session options when you schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and offer options for people who prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can help adapt therapy to work around schedules and daily responsibilities.
