About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience. She brings a calm, compassionate presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps parents can use right away.
Her approach is relaxed and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people feel heard and build confidence. Carolyn emphasizes teamwork in therapy. She helps people identify patterns, try new ways of responding, and build skills that fit everyday life.
Sessions often center on real problems like sleep struggles, stress, anger, workplace strain, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused work. That means she both listens deeply and suggests concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses EMDR and hypnotherapy when those methods seem helpful for trauma or intense emotional reactions.
Many people come for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, and life transitions. Carolyn also supports concerns tied to caregiving, aging, divorce, and women's issues. She addresses intimacy-related worries, self-esteem, and habit changes like smoking or vaping cessation.
Sessions can be tailored to short-term coaching or longer therapeutic work. She aims to make each meeting clear and useful so parents can try new approaches between sessions. Her style stays grounded in real-life results rather than abstract talk.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and meeting a person where they are. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's lead, reflect concerns back, and help clarify priorities for parenting and daily life struggles.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior and practice new responses. Online CBT sessions often include homework, behavioral experiments, and concrete skill-building to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage anger or ADHD symptoms.
Emotionally-focused therapy, or EFT, concentrates on identifying emotional responses and strengthening stable connections. In remote work this can mean guided conversations and exercises that help people understand emotions and change how they respond to relationship stress or intimacy concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
