About Jon
Dr. Jon Freda is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY4988) with 25 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, relationship strain, career concerns, and life changes. He also helps people facing caregiver stress, aging issues, workplace problems, and questions about life purpose.
He combines straightforward, action-focused methods with reflective work. Sessions often include Cognitive Behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and small practices from mindfulness to slow reactivity. He also draws on existential ideas to help people weigh choices and find meaning when life shifts.
Dr. Freda brings experience from university teaching, executive and behavioral coaching for large companies, acting, and Navy service. That variety shows up in practical exercises, and occasional use of improvisation to try new responses in the moment. Progress is tracked through agreed-upon actions rather than vague goals.
Clients can expect a blend of skill building and thoughtful conversation. Sessions move between identifying immediate coping steps and looking at patterns that keep problems repeating. The focus is on usable strategies people can use at work and at home.
He also works with people affected by trauma and post-traumatic stress, and with those recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. People concerned about intimacy, self-esteem, resentment, or compassion fatigue can explore clear, stepwise approaches to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Freda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and stress, then test small changes that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness-based tools are used to increase moment-to-moment awareness and interrupt automatic responses. Existential therapy invites discussion about values, choices, and what matters when life or roles change.Choosing the best mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. He and the client review goals and try methods that fit the person’s temperament and needs, adjusting practical exercises and check-in tasks as they go. This helps keep sessions focused and relevant to daily life.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and use exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals often find that combining skill practice, short action steps, and reflective conversation translates well to remote sessions and helps people manage anger in real-world situations.
