01About Simone
Simone Smith is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, career shifts, and life transitions.

Simone writes with a warm, nonjudgmental tone and aims to meet people where they are. Her sessions are direct and practical.
Background and approach
Simone uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She teaches skills for managing strong emotions and for rebuilding trust in close relationships. She also helps clients set realistic goals at work and at home, and practices new habits in session so they feel doable outside therapy.
Simone emphasizes respect and sensitivity in her work. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on what matters most to each person. That means listening first, then offering tools that fit the client's life and values.
Progress is planned together rather than imposed. Clients can expect a collaborative pace. Simone blends evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered listening and emotion-focused strategies.
She draws on relationship-focused models when couples or connection patterns are central to the concern. Simone’s background includes experience in school counseling and independent practice settings over six years. That mix gives her practical experience with young adult issues, parenting concerns, and school-related stressors, as well as individual therapy for mood and trauma-related problems.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people act in line with their values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where clarity about values helps guide choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns in close relationships and can help when relationship conflict or disconnection is central.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Simone collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine techniques and adjust the plan over time so the therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Simone provides video calls for in-depth sessions, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue progress between appointments.
