About Simone
Simone Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, career transitions, and the effects of trauma. She also supports those struggling with addictions, self-esteem, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, and issues common among young adults and women. Her approach is warm and straightforward.
Sessions feel like honest conversations where a person can be heard without judgment. Simone draws on several therapy styles to meet real-life needs rather than following a single method for everyone.
Background and approach
In practice she blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered care, cognitive behavioral tools, and acceptance-based strategies. That means Simone pays attention to emotions and patterns in relationships, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, and works on values-driven action when stress or change feels overwhelming. She has six years of experience that include time as a school counselor and work in independent practice.
That background shaped how she supports parents, young adults, and people navigating life shifts or workplace stress. Simone aims to make therapy practical and approachable. Together with each person she builds a plan focused on achievable steps, coping skills, and clearer communication.
The goal is to help people feel more grounded and able to move forward at their own pace.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and patterns that show up in close relationships. It can be useful when strong feelings or repeated conflicts get in the way of connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, which helps when life changes feel overwhelming or when anxiety blocks daily goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room by listening deeply and following their priorities, helping people feel seen and understood as they work through concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools and strategies to use based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is a good option for full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or busy schedules, and all formats make it easier to fit sessions into work, parenting, or daily routines.
