Lorey Simons , LPCC

Lorey Simons is an open-minded, non-judgmental therapist who treats each person as an individual deserving respect and unconditional regard for their life experiences. She centers her work on the client, creating space for individuals to guide the focus and pace of sessions so that therapy feels relevant and personally meaningful. This collaborative stance supports development of a treatment plan tailored to the skills clients want to build to reach their goals.

Simons holds an LPCC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and she integrates practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy when appropriate. She has worked successfully with people managing trauma and the anxiety that often follows it, using techniques such as journaling and identifying and challenging cognitive distortions. These methods are used to help people address recurring negative thought patterns that can distort perception and interfere with daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Lorey Simons draws from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration so that clients direct the focus of sessions and shape their own goals. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to explore values, choices, and personal priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through techniques like journaling and structured skill practice. CBT is often applied for anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Simons works together with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow sessions to fit into varied schedules and life demands. For many, remote options make it easier to maintain consistency, try different session formats, and access licensed professionals from wherever they are.
