About Carolyn
Rev. Carolyn Simon is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She draws on practical methods to help clients who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with anger and relationships.
Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. She centers sessions on the client's needs and works side-by-side to set realistic goals. Conversations are straightforward and focused on building skills people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
That may include tools for coping with panic, improving sleep, or handling workplace strain. Carolyn uses several ways of working to match each person's situation. She may help reframe unhelpful thoughts, guide emotional processing around relationship hurts, or use targeted techniques for trauma recovery.
These methods are described plainly and adapted to what a person prefers. Her practice also addresses identity and life-stage concerns, including LGBT issues, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric topics, and challenges around divorce or separation. She talks through parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, and career changes with an emphasis on practical next steps.
Sessions can include coaching-style work for motivation and habit change, such as smoking or vaping cessation. Carolyn speaks Estonian in addition to English. She practices in Michigan and combines empathy with clear, usable strategies to help people move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Carolyn commonly uses client-centered work to create a respectful, collaborative space where people set their own goals and lead the pace of change. This approach helps when someone needs support naming feelings and deciding what matters most to them. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors together. CBT offers tools for managing anxiety, panic attacks, anger, and unhelpful habits by practicing new ways of thinking and acting. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest one or a mix of methods. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as progress is made. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when desired. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style notes, or for people who prefer writing. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy lives.Questions people ask about Carolyn
