About Simone
Simone Totoro brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice, blending practical strategies with compassionate listening. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques to help adults address stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, and trauma.
Background and approach
Her work also encompasses family dynamics, parenting challenges, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Simone holds LPC and LMHC credentials and maintains a commitment to ongoing professional growth through continuing education.
She draws on solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to set achievable goals and to empower clients toward meaningful change. Her experience includes trauma-focused work and attention to issues such as abandonment, blended family concerns, isolation, and questions of life purpose.
Working from New Jersey, Simone has supported people across a range of life stages and challenges, emphasizing collaboration and steady progress. She frames therapy as a partnership where small, consistent steps can lead to significant improvements in daily functioning and well-being.
Using CBT and Supportive Therapies in Online Care
Simone often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this practical approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habit-related concerns. She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize empathic listening and collaboration so clients can explore values, goals, and personal strengths at their own pace. Mindfulness techniques are integrated to cultivate present-moment awareness and stress reduction, which can support sleep, emotion regulation, and trauma recovery.Choosing the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. Simone works with each person to clarify concerns and preferences, then adapts strategies over time to fit evolving goals and situations. The therapist frames progress as incremental and partners with clients to try methods, evaluate results, and adjust the plan together.
Online therapy with Simone is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from New Jersey or internationally, accommodate different communication styles, and support continued work on skills between sessions.
