Dr. Jeronda Golston, LMHC

Dr. Jeronda Golston is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can use to reduce stress and anxiety, manage anger, and cope with addictions and trauma. She speaks plain language and aims to make therapy easy to follow for people juggling busy lives.

Her approach starts with listening and building a respectful working relationship. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and discusses concrete goals and small steps to reach them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) often guide how she helps clients change unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors.

Mindfulness and client-centered methods are used to help people notice emotions and values without judgment. Motivational Interviewing may be used when someone is weighing change or feeling stuck. These tools are applied in clear, practical ways rather than as abstract theories.

Dr. Golston also works with concerns such as depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, ADHD, and post-traumatic stress and sexual assault recovery. She offers support around family problems, abandonment issues, impulsivity, infidelity, aging and end-of-life topics as needed.

Sessions are aimed at helping people gain skills they can use between meetings. She encourages questions about the plan and adjusts based on what is working. The focus is on steady progress and building confidence one step at a time.

How her approaches work online

Dr. Golston often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT gives clear tools and exercises people can practice between sessions to track progress.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful actions. ACT can be useful for chronic worry, low mood, or pain where complete symptom elimination is not the immediate goal.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative planning helps keep therapy relevant and focused on real-life changes.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone calls are a good lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief check-ins, coping tools, or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while keeping continuity of care.
