About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 14 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She also supports work-related struggles, self-esteem issues, and questions around intimacy and parenting.
Carolyn describes counseling as a collaborative process. She listens and helps people notice patterns in thought and behavior. From there she uses concrete strategies to reduce reactive responses and improve daily functioning.
Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to work with relationship patterns and EMDR for trauma-related memories when appropriate.
Sessions aim to be calm and practical. Expect to talk through recent events, identify triggers, and try small behavioral experiments between meetings. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools may be offered as additional ways to practice regulation skills.
Carolyn works with adults across many concerns including ADHD, depression, sleep problems, and workplace strain. She also addresses caregiver stress, aging-related issues, and cessation support for smoking or vaping. Sessions are available in English, with Estonian language ability noted.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Carolyn commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and to clarify their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce reactive responses.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy for relationship patterns, which helps identify underlying emotions and how they affect interactions. These approaches are described so the therapist and client can choose what fits best. Finding the right approach is part of the early work together, with the therapist helping to match methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or keep sessions brief around work breaks. The focus is on making therapeutic methods usable in everyday life rather than on a single fixed format.
