About Lorey
Lorey Simons is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She uses a client-centered approach that lets people lead sessions and name what matters most to them. Her style is warm and non-judgmental, focused on helping people feel heard and understood.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help with anxiety, stress, panic attacks, and depression. That work often includes journaling and learning to notice and challenge unhelpful thought patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and coping skills. Many people seek her help for relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, family problems, and grief. She also supports those working through trauma and post-traumatic stress, as well as issues related to gender dysphoria and sexual orientation.
Parenting strain, caregiver stress, and blended family challenges are additional areas she addresses. With 12 years of experience, she aims to collaborate on realistic goals and practical skills. Sessions often focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.
The approach is straightforward and goal-oriented while staying respectful of each person’s story. Sessions are offered in English and can happen via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the choices a person makes. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helping them clarify goals and feel more involved in planning change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavioral experiments. This approach helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, anger, and sleep problems by changing daily thinking and habits.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behaviors. It can be useful for coping with strong anger, self-harm urges, or difficulty regulating feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick updates, brief coaching, and flexible check-ins between longer sessions.
