About Lorey
Lorey Simons is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who centers her work on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She offers a respectful, non-judgmental presence and invites clients to shape the work. Sessions focus on practical skills and short-term goals that matter to each person.
She uses client-centered therapy to let clients guide the pace and direction of their healing. That means listening closely and partnering on a plan rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a frequent tool she draws on to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. With 12 years of experience, she has supported people coping with trauma, grief, depression, panic attacks, and relationship challenges. She also works with issues like sleep problems, anger, self-harm thoughts, and struggles with identity and intimacy.
Her practice includes help for people navigating blended family concerns, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and post-traumatic stress. In sessions clients may practice journaling, learn ways to challenge negative thoughts, and build new coping strategies. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want concrete next steps or help finding their own motivation for change.
She offers counseling in English by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and sessions are scheduled around therapist availability.
How client-centered and skills-based approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, allowing a person to set the pace and topics for sessions. This approach helps people feel heard and involved while building goals that fit their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, sleep problems, and low mood by teaching skills like journaling and thought-challenging.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness skills. Those techniques are often helpful for strong emotions, impulsivity, and improving interpersonal communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that fit. Treatment is collaborative, and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations when time allows. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer typed communication.
