About DeAnn

Her style is warm and interactive, and she focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online care
Dr. Simon commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist listens with respect and follows the person's lead to understand what matters most. That approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going and replacing them with more helpful actions and coping skills.She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple breathing and attention exercises that reduce stress in the moment. Together with motivational interviewing, these approaches help people clarify what they want to change and build small, achievable steps toward it. Deciding which mix of methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to choose approaches that fit the client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or work for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone wants to write about their thoughts between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, manage follow-up tasks, and keep momentum between meetings.
