About Enrique
Enrique Simmons is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. He uses clear, practical methods to teach coping skills and build routines that fit day-to-day life. His work focuses on giving people tools to manage symptoms and handle life changes.
He draws from different therapeutic approaches rather than sticking to one method. That allows him to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and preferences.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize learning through practice, such as role-play, problem solving, and self-assessments. Early meetings are collaborative. Enrique and the client map out goals and create a treatment plan that guides the work.
Plans are practical and include steps to practice between sessions. Most sessions run about 45 minutes. Expect education about stress management, hands-on practice of coping skills, and assigned exercises to try at home.
The aim is to build habits that lessen distress and improve everyday functioning. Enrique brings 13 years of professional experience to his practice in Maryland. He holds LPC, MD, and LCPC credentials and works in English.
He offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule.
Online approaches that teach practical skills
Enrique commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on teaching concrete skills. One approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - building routines, practicing new behaviors, and using role-play to rehearse better responses. This is useful for stress, mood problems, and addictive behaviors. Another approach centers on problem solving and coping skills - identifying practical steps to handle specific challenges and practicing them between sessions. That helps with daily stressors, parenting challenges, and adjusting to life changes.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to find practical tools that fit the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats let people fit therapy into their schedules and keep progress going between in-person commitments. The range of options makes it easier to practice skills, check in about homework, and maintain continuity while life gets busy.
