01About Lorey
Lorey Simons is a non-judgmental therapist who practices with respect and unconditional regard. She uses client-centered methods so people take an active role in shaping their sessions and goals. Lorey holds an LPCC, which is the Ohio professional credential for her practice, and she brings 12 years of clinical experience.
She focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, grief, sleep trouble, and changes brought on by separation or loss.
Background and approach
Relationship concerns and intimacy issues are a frequent part of her work. She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and complex family dynamics such as blended family challenges. Lorey blends client-centered care with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
That means sessions alternate between listening, reflecting, and practicing new skills. She often uses journaling and exercises to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Trauma and abuse are areas she has treated across her career, and she pairs trauma-focused ideas with skill-building to reduce anxiety symptoms.
She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to help clients clarify next steps and find concrete coping strategies. Sessions aim to build everyday tools for handling anger, impulsivity, panic, caregiver stress, communication problems, and self-esteem struggles. Lorey keeps the work straightforward and collaborative, focusing on what the person wants to change and how to get there.

04Online support
How approach and online care work together
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them set goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds practical tools such as journaling and exercises to spot and change unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage strong feelings and impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorey will discuss these methods with each person and decide together which tools fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they focus on meaningful, manageable steps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and can help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy days.
