Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. DeAnn Simon draws from several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work with clients. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s experience is heard and valued; it helps people explore identity, self-esteem, and relational concerns while promoting personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep difficulties, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical tools to manage symptoms and change responses.

Motivational Interviewing centers on strengthening a person’s own motivation to change. It is useful when someone feels ambivalent about change or is working toward goals like reducing substance use, improving health habits, or making lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Simon works collaboratively with clients to select and adapt methods that fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Dr. Simon is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for those balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from home or other convenient locations.
