About Lorey

Lorey Simons is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of experience. She centers sessions on the person's goals and preferences and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for parents and individuals facing everyday struggles. She uses client-centered methods so clients guide the work and stay involved in decisions about goals and next steps.

That approach pairs with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, like journaling and noticing unhelpful thought patterns.

Background and approach

Together these methods help people manage anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and low mood. Lorey has extensive experience helping people process trauma and the anxiety that can follow. She draws on solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to set clear, achievable steps when someone is feeling stuck.

This combination supports movement toward better communication, boundaries, and coping skills. Many clients seek help for relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, blended family stress, and caregiver burnout. Lorey also works with concerns such as grief, anger, self-harm, gender dysphoria, and patterns rooted in family of origin problems.

Sessions address what is happening now and practical ways to change daily routines and reactions. Sessions may include short exercises, reflective conversation, and homework like journaling or behavioral experiments. The aim is to leave each meeting with at least one small, doable step toward the client’s goals.

Lorey communicates clearly about options so parents can fit therapy into a busy life.

Online support

Approach-focused online care for practical change

Client-centered therapy places the client at the center of each session. The therapist follows the clients lead, listens without judgment, and helps the client decide goals and priorities. This approach is useful when someone wants to feel more involved in planning their path forward.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, emphasizes noticing how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It uses tools like journaling and cognitive reframing to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression and to improve sleep and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to choose methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as goals shift over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video helps with face-to-face conversation; phone is useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can support quick check-ins, shorter reflections, and ongoing prompts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency while balancing parenting and daily responsibilities.
