About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. She blends a calm, compassionate style with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns.
Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood from the first conversation. She uses client-centered techniques to build trust and focus on each person's strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when thoughts or behaviors are getting in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
She also draws on emotionally focused methods to address intimacy-related issues and relationship patterns. Rev. Simon has supported people facing trauma, panic attacks, phobias, and social anxiety by combining talk-based work with targeted interventions.
Hypnotherapy and EMDR are among the tools she may use when traumatic memories or persistent fears need a different pathway to change. She frames interventions in clear, simple terms so clients know what to expect. Her practice covers a wide range of life concerns including parenting stress, workplace difficulties, self-esteem, and coping with life changes like divorce or caregiving demands.
She also supports people exploring identity and LGBT concerns and helps with habits such as smoking or vaping cessation. Sessions are offered in English, and she can work with Estonian speakers. Rev.
Simon encourages a collaborative process where client goals guide the plan and progress is reviewed along the way.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, understanding relationship. Online sessions use that same stance to help people feel comfortable sharing concerns about anxiety, stress, relationships, or phobias. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; in online sessions this often includes setting simple practice tasks between meetings and reviewing progress together.EMDR offers a structured method for working with trauma-related memories and intense fears. When appropriate, elements of EMDR can be introduced in virtual sessions alongside talk therapy to lessen the hold of distressing memories. Rev. Simon will talk with each person about which approaches may help and adapt methods to fit the client's needs and goals in a collaborative way.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients read facial cues and body language for relational work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or interim coaching when a short contact is helpful. These options make it easier to maintain steady progress while fitting therapy into daily life.
