About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, life changes, ADHD, sleep and rest, and other everyday struggles people bring to therapy. Her approach aims to create a relaxed, accepting place for honest conversation.
She uses practical, person-centered methods to help people name problems and try small changes that can make life easier. Conversations are paced to match each person's needs, and she helps clients discover skills they can use outside sessions. She emphasizes calm, compassionate support rather than judgment.
Carolyn integrates cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also brings emotionally-focused techniques to help clarify and repair connection issues, and may use EMDR and hypnotherapy where appropriate. These tools are described together with clients to see which feels right for their goals.
People often come for help with sleep disruption, coping with grief or separation, caregiver stress, workplace pressure, or struggles with confidence. She also supports those facing trauma, panic, phobias, and identity-related concerns in LGBT communities. Conversations can include coaching elements to build daily routines and problem-solving skills.
Her style is warm, steady, and collaborative. She encourages clients to set realistic steps and to notice small improvements. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their life rhythms.
Approaches That Guide Online Conversations
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. It aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through worries about sleep, relationships, or daily stress and decide what changes to try.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try different behaviors, and build routines that can improve sleep, mood, and coping skills.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people understand emotional responses that affect close relationships. It can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and repairing connection after conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something doesn't fit.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since options are listed in the therapist's profile. Benefits often include fewer travel logistics, quicker check-ins during a workday, and the ability to continue work on sleep routines and coping skills from wherever the client is located. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises and homework that fit into everyday life.
