She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, parenting strains, career questions, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, and issues relevant to young adults and women.
Simone blends several practical approaches in sessions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and attachment patterns. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take workable steps. Client-centered methods guide how she listens and responds during meetings.
Sessions focus on noticing feelings, naming patterns, and trying small changes between meetings. Simone aims to help people understand what drives difficult reactions and to practice different responses. Conversations often include concrete exercises, thought tracking, and values-based goal setting.
Her background includes counseling in school settings and private practice work with a broad range of concerns. The LPC credential indicates she meets professional standards for counseling in New Jersey. Simone offers services in English and accepts international clients; confirm session formats before booking.
People looking for help with relationships, parenting pressures, or recovery from trauma can expect direct, practical sessions. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to help match goals and plan an initial meeting.
How Simone uses EFT, ACT and CBT in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about recognizing and naming emotions and how they shape relationship patterns and reactions. It can help people understand why certain feelings keep coming up and how to respond differently. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify values and encourages small, practical steps that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Simone collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than relying on one technique alone.
The therapist’s biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote meetings let them practice new skills in the context of everyday life. Licensed professionals, including Simone, use these methods to support progress while adapting how sessions are scheduled and conducted to suit practical needs.
