About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, attention challenges, and life transitions. Carolyn also supports those dealing with parenting strain, workplace issues, sleep trouble, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem.
Her practice combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on naming feelings, noticing relationship patterns, and building practical skills for daily life. She also uses EMDR and hypnotherapy when appropriate alongside mindful practices.
Carolyn frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving. She listens for what matters most, then works with each person to try small, doable changes. Expect conversation about thoughts and feelings, and concrete strategies for coping and behavior change.
She draws on experience with a wide variety of concerns including trauma and abuse, panic and phobias, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and age-related caregiving issues. Smoking and vaping cessation, workplace stress, and issues around guilt, forgiveness, and self-love are also within her focus.
Sessions are offered in English and Estonian. For people preparing to start, she asks for a short intake questionnaire and an initial scheduling step to match goals and plan the first meeting.
Working with EFT and practical therapies online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on helping people recognize and name their feelings and the interaction patterns those feelings create. It is often used when emotions are hard to name or relationship patterns keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own perspective and encourages honest conversation to identify what matters most in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will choose or blend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process meant to match techniques to practical problems rather than a one-size-fits-all pitch.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins during lunch breaks or between appointments. Some formats are less demanding on bandwidth or camera use, which can be useful for low-energy days or brief coaching-style visits. Ask about exact session types when you sign up so scheduling and format match your routine.
