About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like sleep problems, parenting strain, workplace stress, and intimacy-related concerns.
Carolyn emphasizes practical work in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. She also uses client-centered techniques, emotionally-focused work, EMDR, and hypnotherapy depending on what a person needs.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps to change daily habits. Conversations include skill practice, simple experiments, and ways to manage panic or strong emotions. For people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, divorce, or aging issues, the work includes concrete coping tools and problem solving.
Carolyn offers a collaborative style that involves listening, teaching skills, and checking progress. She supports work on forgiveness, guilt, shame, smoking or vaping cessation, social anxiety, and career concerns. Sessions may also include coaching-style guidance for motivation and planning.
She speaks Estonian in addition to English. People looking to begin are asked to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and uses a cancelable subscription model.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Carolyn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT work online often involves tracking thoughts, trying brief behavior experiments between sessions, and practicing coping skills for anxiety or sleep problems.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person is experiencing to help them clarify goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when stronger relationship or attachment feelings are a focus; it helps name emotions and practice new ways of responding in close relationships.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Carolyn will discuss options, check what feels useful, and adjust methods based on a client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide which techniques to emphasize.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports using screen-shared worksheets, sleep or mood logs, and homework exercises that fit into daily life.
