How Simone’s approaches translate to online therapy

Simone commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lower reactivity and improve focus during hard moments.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation when feelings are intense, offering practical skills for distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are applied collaboratively so the therapist and client decide together which tools and exercises fit current goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Simone helps clients figure out what suits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying specific techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
