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, down-to-earth support for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and life changes. Simone writes clear goals with each person and keeps sessions straightforward and action-oriented.
She uses client-centered methods to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or anger. Mindfulness exercises are used to teach simple ways to slow down and reduce reactivity in daily life. Simone also draws on solution-focused and motivational approaches to set realistic short-term goals.
That can look like identifying one small habit to change, or mapping steps to reduce substance use or improve sleep. She adapts tools to each person rather than applying the same plan to everyone. With 20 years in the field, Simone brings steady experience and practical problem solving.
She works with adults on family difficulties, parenting stress, blended family challenges, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Her background includes helping people recover from trauma and abuse using trauma-informed strategies. Sessions aim to be collaborative and direct.
Simone helps people build coping skills, manage anger and stress, and move toward clearer goals. She encourages small, consistent steps and checks progress along the way.

Approaches That Work Well Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead to clarify goals and concerns. This approach helps people feel heard and guides practical next steps for managing stress and anger.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them. Online CBT often uses short exercises and between-session tasks to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lower reactivity during stressful moments.
Mindfulness therapy offers simple breathing and attention practices to reduce impulsive responses and improve emotional regulation. These techniques can be practiced during a session and repeated between meetings to help manage anger and day-to-day stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Simone will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, and steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
