About Aura

Aura Seidler is a licensed clinical social worker with over 21 years of experience supporting people facing relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and a wide range of life changes.

Background and approach

She combines longstanding clinical experience with ongoing training in evidence-based approaches to help clients address intimacy-related concerns, anger, stress, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and other complex issues listed in her practice focus.

Seidler’s work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based and attachment-oriented methods, as well as client-centered and skills-based techniques such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate. She has extensive experience assisting adolescents and adults with trauma, loss, and separation, and with related challenges that interfere with school, social functioning, and adult relationships.

Her practice also attends to specialized concerns including adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image issues. Based in Florida, Aura brings a collaborative, experienced approach to therapy and offers services in English and Spanish.

She holds LCSW credentials and has spent two decades helping clients explore practical strategies and personal meaning as they work toward greater balance and well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your needs

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-focused approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors contributing to anxiety, depression, and mood regulation challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify values, build psychological flexibility, and take committed action even in the presence of difficult feelings, which can be useful for grief, stress, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they shape current intimacy, communication, and trust, offering a path to improve relational dynamics and emotional safety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and may draw from CBT, ACT, attachment principles, client-centered listening, or DBT skills to create a tailored plan that fits the client's situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into work, school, or family life. These formats support ongoing skill practice, consistent check-ins, and access to licensed professionals from different locations, which can reduce barriers to getting started and maintaining momentum in therapy.
