Aureau Gregrow
Counseling is about helping people change. There are many methods for doing this, and I take a Godward approach because I believe in the power of Christ's love as the ultimate source of change. Life is full of challenges, and Scripture gives us the foundation for overcoming them so we can live a fulfilled life. Addressing challenges in this fashion is what makes my practice unique. If you are struggling in your faith or need some biblical guidance, I can help. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a member of the International Association of Biblical Counselors and the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Leah Pavela-Mullins
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!

Cheryl Freimuth
Welcome to a peek into my life. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), in the beautiful sunshine state of Florida. I have been blessed to have many tassels on my hat of life. I began teaching Anatomy/Biology at the high school level over 36 years ago, then became an adjunct professor in the mental health program, where due to my background in Biology I was asked to teach Human Sexuality to the counseling students. I have practiced mental health counseling for 25years, and during that time have had the opportunity to develop a great bag of tools to help with my client's metamorphosis into a confident individual. As a mental health counselor, I mainly work with couples who are dealing with communication issues as well as intimacy issues. I am often called upon to assist people dealing with parenting dilemmas. During my year's teaching and counseling, I have been blessed to develop a common sense and eclectic style of therapy. I always tailor my mode of therapy to the client's best interest. I firmly believe the client must be the focus, therefore Client-Centered Therapy is always the foundation, as I believe respect, trust, and self-awareness is essential to the client-finding their answers to their concerns. I feel each person has all the answers or solutions to their concerns or stressors within, just where God has placed them. I want to assure you that there isn't too much under the sun that I haven't seen, heard, or experienced as a counselor. I also want to assure you that this road that we are about to embark upon is a journey that we will take together; Hand in hand, side by side. I am here to support and help you as you travel this amazing trail to self-awareness I am very aware of the courage and strength that one has in order to ask a stranger for help, in such major life's trials and tribulations. I admire you for taking these first difficult steps and am excited to embark on this healing process. I am excited to get started walking along beside you as we continue to once again find your place of peace.

Patrick Gribel
I’m Patrick, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. I also welcome clients exploring identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning, and I offer therapy in English and Portuguese. My style is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, psychoanalytic, existential, and humanistic approaches. We will address what is troubling you now while also becoming curious about deeper patterns that may keep it returning—such as early relationships, unspoken expectations, self-criticism, or the roles you often take with others. Therapy with me is thoughtful and unhurried. I pay careful attention, invite reflection, and help bring less-visible patterns into view. My aim is to provide a respectful, nonjudgmental space where you can understand yourself more fully, feel steadier, and make changes that last. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable; you do not need to have everything figured out before we begin.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Florida, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Florida, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
