Rev. Carolyn Simon

Rev. Carolyn Simon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Carolyn builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak freely and begin to make practical changes.

She emphasizes a team approach. Sessions start with a clear sense of what the client wants to change. Then she and the client try strategies together that fit daily life and goals. This can include coping skills for anxiety, ways to handle strong emotions like anger, and steps to rebuild confidence.

Her style is caring and relaxed. She uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused techniques, EMDR, and hypnotherapy. These methods are used to address trauma, relationship concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, and other areas listed in her practice.

Carolyn also supports people facing aging and caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt, shame, and issues around forgiveness. She offers help for workplace stress, career questions, and quitting smoking or vaping.

She speaks Estonian in addition to English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's process to match and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities so people feel heard and can name what they want to change. This approach helps with self-esteem, motivation, and making decisions about relationships and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is practical and skill-based. It looks at thoughts and behaviors and tries small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger management, sleep issues, and workplace stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on how emotions show up in relationships and within oneself. It helps people make sense of intense feelings and build new ways of responding when emotions run high.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify goals and then tries approaches that match those goals and the client's preferences. Clients help decide what to keep adjusting as they go.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Those practical benefits can help someone consistently work toward managing anger, anxiety, and life transitions.
