About Simone
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of experience, Simone Smith helps people facing relationship problems, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, stress, addiction concerns, and life changes. She also focuses on postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, self-love, women’s issues, and young adult concerns. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Simone uses a mix of approaches to match practical needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. In sessions she listens, clarifies what matters to the client, and works toward small, concrete changes people can try between meetings.
Her work often centers on improving communication and rebuilding trust in close relationships. For parenting and family stress she helps people identify patterns that cause conflict and develop clearer ways to respond. For mood and anxiety issues she uses CBT skills alongside mindfulness-based ACT tools to reduce avoidance and build values-driven action.
When racial trauma or discrimination are part of the picture, Simone addresses those experiences directly and connects them to symptoms like anxiety, low self-worth, or substance use. She also supports people through pregnancy and postpartum mood concerns with practical strategies and emotional validation.
Simone’s background includes school counseling and private practice work. She recommends starting with a short intake to set goals and pick methods that fit each person’s life and schedule.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. It’s commonly used for depression and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional patterns in relationships and helps partners or individuals recognize and shift those interactions to improve connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will discuss these methods with each client and together they will choose which to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as new issues or priorities emerge.
The practical advantages of remote sessions include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, as well as the ability to attend from different locations when travel or time is a constraint. Some clients prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or attention is limited, while others use video for longer, skill-focused sessions.
