About Simone
Simone Totoro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with two decades of experience in mental health. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage anxiety. Simone works with adults to address depression, coping with life changes, substance use concerns, and problems that affect daily functioning.
She uses clear, goal-oriented methods in sessions. Simone draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, useful goals and build on what already works for someone. Mindfulness is part of her approach for managing strong emotions and improving sleep. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change habits but feel unsure where to start.
Simone combines these methods to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique. Over 20 years she has helped people work through family problems, abandonment issues, and the strain of blended family dynamics. She also supports those facing career stress, loneliness, or questions about life purpose.
Sessions aim to be practical and readable so busy people can use the skills between meetings. Simone practices from New Jersey and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and uses a mix of session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
Online approaches that fit busy lives
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own solutions; this approach works well for stress, life changes, and relationship-related concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habits that interfere with daily life. CBT gives concrete tools to practice between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood. These skills can be used during moments of acute stress or as part of a daily routine.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Simone collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
