About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions. Her work also addresses issues such as ADHD, sleep disruption, anger, career concerns, and depression.
Carolyn uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to look at unhelpful thinking and change patterns that cause distress. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas to identify important feelings that shape how people connect with others.
When trauma is part of the story, Carolyn can include EMDR and hypnotherapy to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Sessions are practical and conversational. They focus on concrete skills and small changes that fit into daily routines.
She pays attention to issues that commonly affect parents and people caring for others, such as caregiver stress, aging concerns, divorce, and the strain of balancing work and home life. She also offers support around forgiveness, guilt, shame, and intimacy concerns.
Carolyn speaks Estonian in addition to English. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
How Carolyn's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's concerns. Online sessions using this approach typically involve open conversation, clarifying what matters most, and setting goals that fit everyday life. This is useful for stress, relationship worries, parenting strain, and coping with change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT often includes practical exercises, homework, and short skill-building tasks to change unhelpful patterns. That approach helps with anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with core feelings that drive interaction patterns. Online EFT sessions aim to name those emotions and try new ways of responding to improve important relationships and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. This may mean combining approaches or adjusting techniques over time as progress and needs become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not specify formats. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a lunch break or after childcare. Ask about available scheduling options and any practical details before your first appointment.
