About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She offers calm, practical therapy that focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life changes.
She speaks Estonian as well as English. Her work begins by building a welcoming space where people can talk without judgment. She listens and helps clients identify what matters most to them.
Together they set small, achievable goals and practice skills to handle worry, sleep problems, anger, and motivation.
How Carolyn works
She uses several straightforward approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Client-centered work emphasizes the person's own strengths and choices.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding feelings that affect relationships and intimacy. Rev. Simon also integrates techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
These are offered as tools to address trauma, intense memories, or deep emotional blocks alongside talk-based work. Parents and caregivers who feel overwhelmed can find strategies for managing stress, sleep, and parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with career pressure, caregiving duties, aging concerns, smoking or vaping cessation, and questions of forgiveness and self-love.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions. Therapy is delivered online using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy places the person’s priorities at the center of each session and emphasizes listening and support. Online sessions use that approach to help clients set goals, make choices, and build confidence through steady conversation and practical exercises.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain problems. In virtual sessions, CBT often uses worksheets, between-session practice, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or tackle mood changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and intimacy. Over video or phone, EFT techniques guide people to say what they feel and practice new ways of connecting and responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques based on the client’s goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That collaborative process makes it easier to try something new or adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and use shared worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These formats help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using evidence-informed techniques.
