Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Aeron DeGroat has been in practice 7 years and is licensed in Florida. Aeron lists stress, Anxiety, LGBT and trauma and abuse among 20 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Aeron's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Aeron works with
Aeron lists 5 specialisms and 15 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Aeron chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Aeron's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I specialize in LGBTQIA+ issues & trauma, specifically gender identity and transgender issues. I am passionate about women's issues, body image, developing a healthy relationship with food, and promoting overall self-care and self-love. My goal is to empower you; I believe in being your cheerleader, but also holding you accountable and challenging you!
I show up to sessions as my authentic self! This means that I am not a "blank slate" style therapist, and believe it is incredibly vital to healing to discuss all factors contributing to distress, including (but not limited to!) the impact of racial and cultural factors, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, generational and religious trauma, colonization, current political climate, and late-stage capitalism on mental health. No topic is off limits, and I can promise a safe space to explore all facets of your experience.

03 · What happens next
Aeron practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Aeron's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Aeron at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Aeron is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Aeron.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Aeron actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Aeron's - Aeron has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Aeron's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Aeron. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
