Rev. Carolyn Simon, LPC

Rev. Carolyn Simon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She uses a collaborative, respectful style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

She brings 14 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical tools clients can use between meetings. Carolyn aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about worries, work on self-esteem, and find better ways to cope with change.

Her work often addresses ADHD-related challenges, sleep problems, anger, workplace struggles, and issues around intimacy and parenting. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, divorce and separation, and the emotional effects of aging.

Carolyn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy to tailor sessions to each person. She helps clients translate insights into concrete steps like behavior adjustments, skills practice, and new routines.

People who want a gentle but focused approach will find her style relaxed and empathetic. Sessions emphasize teamwork: the therapist and client set goals and try different strategies until something fits.

She offers services in English and Estonian and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with the therapist's calendar.

CBT and Emotion-Focused Support Online

Carolyn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and handle stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, using active listening and reflection to help people feel heard and to clarify goals.

She may also use Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship or attachment patterns are central. EFT looks at emotional responses and helps people name feelings and try new ways of relating to others. During the first weeks the therapist and client decide together which approaches fit the problem and the person's preferences, so treatment stays practical and collaborative.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face from another location. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy schedule and continue skill-building between meetings.
