Lorey and I have been working together for a couple weeks and I already feel she has been able to give me tips to better work through issues that I am having. I look forwards to our sessions so that I can better understand the way that I think, and develop mechanisms to help.

More about Lorey

  • LPCC

" I am a non-judgmental, open-minded therapist who believes that each client is an individual who deserves respect and unconditional regard for their life experiences. I engage in utilization of client centered therapy that allows the client to direct and feel more involved in the therapeutic process. This allows me to connect with the client and, together, develop a treatment plan that will help them to foster the skills that they feel they need to achieve the goals that they have set forth."

"I have worked, successfully, with individuals who are dealing with trauma and the anxiety that so often accompanies such trauma. I have found that utilizing CBT techniques such as journaling and challenging cognitive distortions, clients are better able to address the negative thought patterns that cause a perceptual bias that can be debilitating."

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lorey Simons has helped me progress immensely in my short time with her.

Although I didn’t have many sessions with Mrs. Simmons I didn’t think she was the right therapist for me. I don’t think she truly understood my struggles, and the many techniques we tried seemed very unhelpful.

Reviewed November 2020

I tried therapy for the first time a little over a year ago and just felt like I wasn’t connecting fully with my therapist. I thought maybe I needed to give it more time, but even after a break through moment, it just wasn’t there. I felt discouraged and stopped because I was nervous to start all over again. I’ve only had two sessions so far with Lorey and I’m so glad I switched! I like that BetterHelp matches you with someone. I can tell Lorey has more experience in what I needed and look forward to working with her to get back on track.
