Her goal is straightforward: help clients feel more capable and less stuck. She partners with each person to set realistic goals and track small wins over time.

Online approaches that fit today’s life

Simone commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily stress. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action, which is useful for getting unstuck and handling painful feelings without avoiding them.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions and communication patterns. These approaches are presented in a collaborative way so the therapist and client can decide together which methods match the client’s goals and comfort level.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper work and skill practice, while phone calls can fit a break at work or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or do shorter, focused exercises. These options provide flexibility so people can choose how therapy fits into their daily routines.
