About Jon
Dr. Jon Freda is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY4988) with 25 years of clinical experience. He works with adults and senior adults on issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, grief, and addiction. Sessions are focused and practical, aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and make clear decisions.
He draws from cognitive-behavioral, existential, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas to create a direct yet thoughtful process. That can include short experiments between sessions, action steps, and checking progress against agreed goals. His work has also included university teaching, executive and behavioral coaching for large companies, and service in the Navy, all of which shape a pragmatic style.
Some clients use improvisation exercises to try new ways of responding to difficulty. These exercises are practical rather than performative - they are tools to notice choices and practice different responses. When relevant, sessions address workplace stress, caregiving pressures, and life-stage concerns like midlife shifts and aging issues.
Dr. Freda describes progress as measurable and collaborative. He tracks agreed-upon actions and reviews how they worked in real life. This helps keep sessions grounded and focused on everyday changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Florida. People considering work together are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Freda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that map easily to remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and testing small, practical changes between meetings. Mindfulness practice teaches attention and breathing techniques that people can use when anger or stress rises.He also draws on Existential Therapy ideas to discuss meaning, values, and life choices in straightforward language. That can help when someone is confronting career shifts, midlife questions, or caregiving roles. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist and client work together to see what fits the person’s goals and day-to-day life.
The biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills between meetings in the settings where they live and work. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and how to track progress during this planning step.
