Simone Totoro, LPC, LMHC

Simone Totoro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with people who struggle with addiction, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. Simone uses clear, practical strategies so conversations feel useful from the first session.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods. That means she listens first, then helps people test small changes that can decrease symptoms and improve daily routines. Mindfulness practices are also part of sessions when they fit a person’s needs and preferences.

Simone brings long experience in trauma work and family-related concerns without assuming a single answer fits everyone. She has practiced for 20 years and has maintained ongoing training to keep current with clinical tools. Her background includes work with mood disorders, anger, OCD, and adjustment issues among adults and seniors.

She holds LPC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor credentials, noted here as LPC and LMHC. Simone has training in telehealth and in using animals to support therapy when appropriate. She frames goals with each person and tracks progress through concrete steps.

People who choose her can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical homework between meetings. Sessions emphasize small, manageable changes that link directly to everyday life and relationships.

How practical approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience first, then shaping goals around what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk through feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and anger by setting clear, stepwise tasks people can practice between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention exercises and simple breathing practices into sessions to reduce stress and improve focus. These practices can be short and easy to use during daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That makes therapy a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.

The original profile notes training in telehealth, but it does not list specific session formats here. Confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and offer options for people who prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices to work effectively through distance-based sessions.
