About Simon
Simon Rabas is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with seven years of professional experience. He focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Simon aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s experience.
He approaches sessions with a direct and supportive style. He listens for what is working already in a person’s life, then builds on those strengths.
Background and approach
Conversations typically cover coping skills, ways to handle strong emotions, and small behavior changes that add up over time. Simon also helps people navigate life transitions and problems at work. He talks through communication challenges and loneliness, and supports people dealing with money worries or questions about life purpose.
He pays attention to how daily routines and relationships affect mood and stress. Sessions tend to be practical and goal oriented. Simon works with clients to set clear steps between meetings and to track progress.
He encourages experiments - trying new ways of thinking or acting - and then reviewing what helped. Clients who want straightforward guidance and steady support may find his approach a good fit. He speaks English and offers sessions in formats that suit different schedules.
Simon treats each person as the expert on their life and partners with them to move toward the changes they want.
Approaches and online options for managing anxiety and stress
Simon favors evidence-based techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One common approach teaches practical coping skills for managing anxiety and strong emotions, including breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to test new responses. These techniques are useful for stress, panic, and everyday worry.Another approach emphasizes building on strengths and changing small habits. This involves identifying routines that affect mood, setting simple goals, and reviewing what worked between sessions. It helps with low motivation, depression, and improving self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is tracked over time.
Online therapy gives flexibility around busy schedules and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can serve for quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into everyday life.
