About Lorey
Lorey Simons is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She uses a client-centered approach and listens without judgment so people can set the pace for their work. Her style is straightforward and respectful, and she helps people take small steps toward clearer goals.
She combines client-centered care with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix lets her match tools to the problems a person brings, from anxious thinking to trouble managing strong emotions. She often uses journaling and exercises that help spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns.
Lorey has 12 years of experience working with people who have experienced trauma and with those who struggle with anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy questions, issues around gender and sexual identity, grief, parenting stress, and sleep problems. Her background includes work with people coping with anger, impulsivity, panic, and self-harm concerns.
She also addresses practical family challenges such as blended family issues, divorce and separation, communication problems, family of origin conflicts, and caregiver stress. Additional focus areas include polyamory or non-monogamous relationship dynamics, commitment concerns, and forgiveness work.
Sessions are delivered in English and reflect a collaborative pace. Prospective clients who want to begin are invited to follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Lorey blends Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions that focus on practical change. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh their own reasons for change and build motivation in a gentle way. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person in charge of pace and priorities so sessions follow what matters most right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy adds hands-on tools such as journaling and thought-challenging exercises to reduce anxious or depressive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lorey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying ideas together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on the person's feedback.
Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, since formats are not listed on the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports using written tools like shared journaling prompts and homework between sessions to keep progress moving forward. -
