CBT and Collaborative Care Online

Dr. Simon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for issues such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing empathy and respect to create a supportive environment where clients can explore goals and values. These approaches are complemented by mindfulness practices that teach attention and grounding skills useful for managing trauma responses, anger, and emotional overwhelm.

Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dr. Simon works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment is flexible and adjusts over time as progress, feedback, and changing circumstances suggest new directions.

Online therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase scheduling flexibility and accessibility. These options support continuity of care for people balancing work, family, or health-related limitations, making it easier to attend regular sessions and practice new skills between meetings.
