About Jon
Dr. Jon Freda is a clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stress. He also supports people dealing with career issues, life changes, anger, trauma and abuse, caregiver strain, and questions about life purpose.
He practices in Florida and works in English. He uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on identifying what matters to the client and on small, agreed-upon actions.
Background and approach
Mindfulness exercises and cognitive-behavioral tools are used to reduce distress and reshape unhelpful thinking. Existential ideas help people reflect on meaning, choices, and responsibility. Clients can expect an active, collaborative style.
The therapist blends talking with short exercises and occasional improvisation to try out different ways of responding. Progress is tracked by decisions and steps the client agrees to take between sessions. Dr.
Freda draws on varied experience outside therapy, including executive coaching and work with performing professionals. That background informs a practical, goal-oriented approach for people juggling work, public roles, or high stress. Sessions emphasize clear goals and measurable steps rather than long, unfocused conversations.
People looking for steady guidance, skills they can practice, and a focus on values and meaning may find this approach helpful.

Online support
Approach and online care that fit your life
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, values, and the choices they face. It can be useful when life changes, midlife questions, or a search for purpose are central concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. Sessions may combine existential reflections with CBT strategies and mindfulness practices when that mix best suits the person's needs. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, coaching-style prompts, or when messaging fits a daily routine. These options increase flexibility so people can continue therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
