About Aurilia

Aurilia Gray-Grimes is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical practice and more than two decades of service in faith-based community support.

Background and approach

She combines professional therapy skills with long-standing community experience to help people manage stress and anxiety, work through grief, develop anger management strategies, and strengthen self-esteem. Her background includes supporting individuals facing relationship challenges and single parents, which informs a compassionate, understanding approach.

She centers sessions on collaboration, inviting clients to be active partners in the process while moving at a pace that feels manageable. Aurilia integrates practical tools aimed at helping clients use what they learn in everyday life, and she offers a nonjudgmental space for exploring difficult feelings like guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about purpose.

Her work emphasizes empowerment and growth, supporting clients as they build self-love and clearer communication skills while navigating life transitions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration; it creates space for clients to explore their feelings and set the pace for sessions, which can help with issues like self-esteem, grief, and isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and provides concrete strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience and relationship patterns, helping people understand and shift how they respond to strong feelings and interpersonal challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist will work with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time so that therapy feels relevant and helpful.

Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, practice skills between meetings, and access care from home, while allowing a licensed professional to tailor approaches like CBT or Client-Centered work to the online setting.
