Rev. Carolyn Simon, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Carolyn

Rev. Carolyn Simon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She uses a warm, grounded style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Her approach aims to make conversations simple and honest so clients can talk about what matters most without feeling judged. In sessions she focuses on practical skills alongside emotional understanding. She listens first, then helps clients build tools for managing symptoms like panic, sleep trouble, anger, or worry.

Background and approach

She also offers work on motivation, confidence, smoking or vaping cessation, and navigating workplace or career stress. Her background includes training in client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what each person needs, whether the work is about processing trauma, changing unhelpful thinking, or improving emotional connection.

She describes her practice as compassionate, relaxed, and non-judgmental. The goal is to help people discover strengths they may not have noticed yet and to build concrete strategies for everyday life. She supports those coping with divorce, caregiver stress, aging concerns, women's issues, and related challenges.

Carolyn invites people to take the first step toward change. She works collaboratively to set goals and develop new skills that help clients move toward a more satisfying, manageable life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist focuses on understanding your perspective and creating a space where you can talk openly, which helps with stress, self-esteem, and motivation.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and workplace or social anxiety by helping people develop coping strategies and new routines.

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift strong emotional patterns that get in the way of feeling connected or confident. It can be useful when working through relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and strong emotional reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that feel like a good fit. That process is collaborative and may combine techniques from different approaches as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue work during busy weeks, manage small crises with messaging, or use longer video sessions for deeper work. The variety of formats aims to increase flexibility and keep therapy practical for everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
