Simon Camarillo, LPC

Simon Camarillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and addictive behaviors. He focuses on building coping skills, improving mood, and addressing relationship and intimacy concerns. Simon aims to make therapy clear and straightforward so people can use new tools right away.

With eight years of clinical experience, Simon blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered and mindfulness strategies. He works with people facing depression, panic, obsessions and compulsions, and mood disorders such as bipolar. He also supports those dealing with grief, life transitions, and questions about purpose or direction.

Simon pays attention to how thoughts, habits, and body sensations affect everyday behavior. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing grounding and mindful awareness, and building step-by-step plans to change routines. He uses a solution-focused lens to set concrete goals and track progress between meetings.

Those who come for help with addiction, substance use, or domestic violence-related issues receive care that addresses both immediate safety and longer-term behavior changes. Work on body image, codependency, and guilt or shame focuses on small, practical shifts people can try right away.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person. Simon emphasizes respect for individual values and aims to help clients find clearer choices, steadier moods, and more reliable ways to handle life’s pressures.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Simon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT focuses on changing thinking patterns and daily habits to produce practical improvements. Client-Centered Therapy is also a key influence; it emphasizes empathetic listening and working at the client’s pace so people feel heard while they set their own goals. Mindfulness Therapy rounds out this approach by teaching simple attention and grounding practices to manage stress and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the problems that matter most, and then recommend strategies to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as progress is tracked and new needs emerge.

Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and role-playing, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quicker check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or between-session coaching. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, family life, or other routines while still focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
