About Jeronda

Dr. Jeronda Golston is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience guiding people through stress, anxiety, addiction issues, trauma, and anger-related concerns.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with sensitivity and respect, creating individualized plans that reflect the client’s priorities and life situation. Dr.

Golston emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional support, helping clients build skills to manage symptoms and make meaningful changes. Her work integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered listening to address problems like low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and ADHD-related challenges.

She also brings experience addressing abandonment, impulsivity, infidelity, sexual assault and abuse, end-of-life and hospice concerns, and issues common to young adults. Dr.

Golston aims to empower people to take the courageous first steps toward healthier patterns while adapting the pace and focus to each person’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Golston commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, helping people develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and acceptance of difficult feelings while encouraging steps toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for stress, trauma-related avoidance, and motivation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time based on what is helping most. Clients are invited to shape the plan so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or work, allow follow-up and skill-building between meetings, and support continuity of treatment when life circumstances change.
