About Aura
Aura Seidler, LCSW, helps people facing anxiety, trauma, relationship trouble, grief, and parenting strain. She works with concerns like anger, stress, self-esteem, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and mood conditions including depression and bipolar. She also supports issues related to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and caregiving challenges.
She has practiced clinical social work for 21 years and holds a Master of Social Work from New York University. Her approach is straightforward and practical.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying patterns, learning coping skills, and building steps that fit each person's life. Aura draws on a few therapy styles to guide work in the room. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Attachment-based ideas inform how past relationships shape present difficulties. In sessions she keeps language simple and goals concrete. Expect skills practice, gentle reflection on past experiences, and short experiments to try between meetings.
She also offers client-centered space for people to talk through painful events and losses. She provides care in English and Spanish and practices in Florida. Aura frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people build clearer choices and better daily routines.
If someone needs coaching around career or transitions, she blends practical planning with therapeutic work.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Aura uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT often involves clear goal-setting, homework exercises, and skill-building that translate well to virtual sessions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are practical tools people can practice between meetings to manage strong emotions and conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and together they will choose methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor the mix of skills practice, reflection, and problem-solving to each client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a lower bandwidth option and useful for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter updates, quick coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
