About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who centers her work on listening and collaboration. She aims to make sessions relaxed and nonjudgmental so people can speak openly about stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and life changes.
She brings 14 years of clinical experience to each client interaction. That time has included helping people with ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep difficulty, and parenting challenges. She also offers support around career stress, anger, depression, and smoking or vaping cessation.
Carolyn’s practice is grounded in a belief that people have untapped potential. Her style is compassionate and holistic. She focuses on creating practical skills and new ways of coping that match each person’s life and goals.
Her work draws on several approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally focused ideas, EMDR, and hypnotherapy. She adapts methods to fit the needs and pace of the person sitting across from her.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Carolyn emphasizes teamwork in the therapy room. She helps people identify small, doable changes and build confidence as they move forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. In practice this means the therapist follows the individual's lead, reflects what is said, and helps the person identify their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, pays attention to emotions in the moment and helps people notice and shift core emotional responses that affect relationships and self-worth.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use approaches like CBT worksheets or emotion-focused exercises in the moment, so practice and learning can happen between sessions.
