About Aeron
Aeron DeGroat is a Florida LMHC with seven years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, and issues common to young adults. Her practice also addresses LGBTQ concerns and trauma-related problems.
Aeron focuses on gender identity and transgender issues alongside women's health topics and body image. She helps people who struggle with eating and food-related concerns, guilt and shame, and challenges around self-esteem. Workplace stress and questions about life purpose are also part of her caseload.
In sessions she speaks openly about how broader forces shape mental health. She names cultural and systemic factors such as sexism, transphobia, homophobia, and generational trauma when these affect a person's distress. Conversations can include how politics, colonization, or religious experiences contribute to current problems.
Her style is straightforward and interactive. She combines encouragement with clear feedback and challenge when needed. That approach is meant to help people make tangible changes while staying seen in their experience.
Aeron supports people with attachment and abandonment concerns, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault or abuse recovery work. She also addresses sexuality, gender dysphoria, and communication problems in relationships.

Approaches for identity, trauma, and everyday stress
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques can include focused work on trauma symptoms and identity concerns. Trauma-informed methods aim to reduce reactivity and help people manage intrusive memories or strong emotional reactions. This work is often useful for those with post-traumatic stress or a history of sexual assault and abuse.Another common method is approaches that address body image and eating-related difficulties. These approaches break down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns around food and body image, and they build practical skills for healthier daily routines and self-care. They tend to emphasize concrete steps rather than abstract ideas.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which techniques fit their situation and goals. She will adjust methods over time as progress and priorities change.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time.
