About Lorey
Lorey Simons is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of experience. She works in a non-judgmental, open-minded way and lets each person guide the pace and focus of therapy. Lorey listens for what matters most and helps people set clear, practical goals.
She uses client-centered methods so people feel involved in decisions about their care. That approach is paired with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, like journaling and spotting distorted thoughts. Together this helps people notice patterns and try small, concrete changes.
Lorey has substantial experience supporting people after trauma and with anxiety that often follows traumatic events. She combines trauma-focused thinking with strategy-based work to help people manage day-to-day symptoms. She also addresses sleep and rest concerns alongside issues such as grief, depression, and self-esteem.
Her focus includes relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, control issues, and conflict within blended families. Lorey also helps with caregiver stress, parenting pressures, and the practical challenges of life changes like separation or divorce.
She draws on a range of approaches including dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques when these fit a person's goals. Sessions emphasize clear steps, skill practice, and collaboration so progress can be measured and adapted over time.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on what the person wants to work on and makes space for their voice in every session. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, checks in about goals, and adjusts the plan as needed. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses concrete techniques like journaling, tracking thoughts, and testing new behaviors to change unhelpful patterns. Online work can include homework review, behavior experiments, and step-by-step skill practice between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills, which can be taught and practiced during remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes trying techniques, seeing what helps, and changing course if something isn’t working well.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use worksheets and journaling tools between sessions to reinforce skills and track sleep and rest patterns over time.
