Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Online

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, one of Anjuli "AJ" Simon’s main approaches, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive behaviors. It is often helpful for people coping with mood instability, stress, and emotion regulation challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment that supports clients in exploring their own goals and strengths. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and building a stronger sense of identity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Simon works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors techniques from these and other evidence-based methods to create a treatment plan that fits the individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access a licensed professional from home or other convenient locations. These formats allow ongoing support that can adapt to a client’s life demands while maintaining the therapeutic focus needed to work toward meaningful change.
