How Simone works

Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple breathing and attention practices that reduce reactivity.

How Simone’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her, helping clients set goals that matter to them and guiding sessions around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, then teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress and cravings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Simone collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust plans together as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different days and routines. Video is useful for a fuller connection and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a short break or workday, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when schedules change or travel is necessary.
