About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered help for everyday struggles.
She listens closely and works alongside people to set realistic goals and build useful skills. Her style is calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. Sessions aim to be simple and direct - talking through what matters, trying new ways to cope, and practicing techniques between meetings.
Background and approach
She helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life transitions, and she includes ADHD among the concerns she addresses. Carolyn blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused methods. She also offers EMDR and hypnotherapy when those approaches fit a person's needs.
The goal is to match methods to what the individual wants to change and how they respond in sessions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, sleep problems, workplace strain, and caregiver stress. Coaching-style conversations are available for career decisions and motivation challenges.
She speaks Estonian in addition to English. Her practice emphasizes collaboration. Clients and Carolyn form a team to try small, manageable changes.
Over time those steps can add up to clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better day-to-day routines.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead, ask questions, and co-create goals in a conversational way to address stress, low confidence, or relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In teletherapy, CBT often includes short exercises, homework, and practical tools to change patterns that worsen anxiety, sleep issues, or workplace stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories and intense emotional reactions. When offered online, the therapist guides the procedure step by step and adjusts pacing to the client's comfort and response.
Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust the plan over time. This collaborative decision-making helps find what actually helps a person feel steadier and more capable.
Online sessions are flexible and accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, quick coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
