Mekea Simon, LPC

Mekea Simon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people feel steadier day to day. She focuses on clear goals and simple steps that can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve self-esteem.

Mekea helps people who are managing stress, depression, ADHD challenges, grief, trauma, or big life changes. She also works with emotional struggles like anger, shame, loneliness, and trouble at work. Sessions aim to build skills that make everyday life more manageable.

Her work mixes several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to act in line with their values even when feelings are hard. Client-centered methods make space for the person’s own priorities and pace.

In session, Mekea focuses on practical tools and clear communication. People practice strategies, set small goals, and track progress between meetings. She pays attention to how life events and relationships shape feelings and behavior.

With three years of experience as an LPC in Texas, Mekea aims to create a respectful and down-to-earth space. She encourages self-compassion while working toward real, achievable changes. Sessions are offered in English and shaped around each person’s needs.

For those ready to begin, she supports getting started with a short intake and a collaborative plan for therapy.

Approaches that translate well to online care

CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and acting. Online sessions can include worksheets, thought records, and practice exercises to use between meetings. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps even when feelings are difficult. That work often uses short experiential exercises and goal-setting that translate well to remote formats. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and understood; online conversations can create a steady space for people to talk through what matters most and decide what to try next.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mekea will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and daily routine. That may mean combining CBT tools with ACT values work or using client-centered listening to shape structured skills practice. The plan is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video helps when visual cues and screen-shared worksheets are useful. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow short updates, check-ins, and step-by-step coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
