About Aurilia

Aurilia Gray-Grimes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with seven years of clinical practice. She brings long experience from faith-based community work and aims to offer calm, steady support. She speaks English and works with adults on common struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk at their own pace. Sessions focus on practical skills and gentle reflection.

Background and approach

Clients are treated as active partners in planning goals and next steps. Her approach mixes narrative ideas with client-centered and cognitive behavioral tools. That means helping people name the stories that shape their choices and then testing new behaviors in small, doable steps.

She also draws on emotionally-focused techniques and EMDR when appropriate to address strong emotions or past hurts. Aurilia prioritizes useful tools you can use outside of sessions, such as breathing or thought-tracking strategies and ways to practice different communication patterns. She supports people coping with the loss of a partner or the loneliness that can follow life transitions.

Her style is warm and empowering. She listens first, then offers options and skills tailored to each person. To begin, she encourages a short conversation to match on goals and decide a format that fits daily life.

Online session options

Approaches for online healing and practical change

Many of Aurilia's methods translate well to remote sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people identify and rewrite the stories that influence choices and emotions; it can be useful for life purpose, relationship patterns, and self-esteem. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgment so clients set the pace and direction of work, which supports emotional processing and building self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and gives concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aurilia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She often combines elements from different approaches to match what a person needs in the moment and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, reflections, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
