More about Simone

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with over 3 years of experience working as a counselor in a school setting and a therapist in a private practice. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, young adult issues and life transitions. I have also helped many people who have experienced racial trauma.

My therapy style is warm and genuine. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is holistic as I work with an integrative model combining cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, empowerment strategies. Each client is unique, so I will tailor our journey and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

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.
