About Aurilia
Aurilia Gray-Grimes is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She has more than 25 years of service in the faith-based community, working alongside single mothers, young adults, and people facing relationship challenges. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns, including issues around communication, control, guilt, shame, and isolation.
Gray-Grimes uses practical talk and tools in sessions. She encourages people to be active partners in the work and moves at a pace that feels right for each person. In sessions she teaches strategies for managing strong emotions and for building self-respect outside of therapy.
She also supports people processing the emotional impact of not having a partner and those questioning life purpose after major changes. Her background in community and faith settings informs how she listens to values and personal history when goals are discussed.
Sessions focus on clear steps and skill practice rather than long theory. People can expect direct guidance on communication problems, anger management, and coping with grief. The goal is practical progress people can use between appointments.
Gray-Grimes blends several approaches to suit the concern at hand. She draws from Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing. This mix lets her address emotional blocks, negative thinking patterns, and movement toward meaningful choices.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the client's concerns and supports the person's own choices. This approach helps when someone feels unsure about what matters next and needs space to clarify priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at everyday thoughts and actions. It breaks down unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep stress and low mood going. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and building better coping habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to core emotions and how they show up in relationships. It helps people recognize patterns in how they connect with others and guides shifts in expression and response.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Those practical benefits often help people keep momentum while they work on stress, grief, or life-purpose questions.
