Claire Simon

Claire Simon is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) who focuses on helping people build practical skills for everyday life. She meets clients where they are and works with them to set clear, attainable goals. Her approach emphasizes teaching coping strategies and offering resources that support change.

Claire uses evidence-based and integrative treatment methods tailored to each person’s feedback and concerns. She favors trauma-informed care and short-term, skill-focused work when that fits a person’s needs. Sessions often emphasize moving from self-criticism toward self-compassion and increasing day-to-day balance.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and family-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive issues, panic, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood changes, sexual assault and abuse, veteran and armed forces issues, young adult challenges, and women’s issues.

Claire brings ten years of clinical practice to her work and holds an Ohio LISW. She aims to work collaboratively, using clear feedback to shape treatment steps and skills practice. Practical tools and actionable steps are central to what she offers in sessions.

Clients who prefer straightforward, skills-focused therapy may find her style suited to short-term goals and gradual change. To start, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

Evidence-based skills and online care

Many evidence-based approaches focus on teaching concrete skills people can use right away. One common method emphasizes behavioral and cognitive skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood by changing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative behaviors. This helps with panic, worry, and low mood by giving clear steps to try between sessions.

Another practical approach centers on trauma-informed techniques that focus on safety, grounding, and gradual skill building. This style helps people manage reactions to past hurt, address sexual assault and abuse concerns, and build better daily coping without pushing too fast.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made and feedback is gathered.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your routine and comfort so sessions can be scheduled in a way that supports your goals.
