About DeAnn
Dr. DeAnn Simon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 14 years of clinical experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and substance issues.
Her manner is warm and interactive, and she focuses on respectful, compassionate conversations that move toward real change. She uses client-centered conversation to understand each person's story before suggesting steps forward.

Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational techniques are layered in to help clients notice present-moment experience and build motivation for change. Dr. Simon has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy issues, sleep trouble, anger, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
She also brings experience addressing ADHD, aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, and post-traumatic stress. Her background includes helping people cope with blended family challenges and workplace stress. In sessions she aims for clear goals and small, usable steps.
Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new strategies between sessions, and checking what does or does not help. She emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist decide together what to try next. People who reach out can expect plain language, empathy, and a focus on practical change.
Dr. Simon encourages those ready to begin to take the next step toward feeling better.
How her approach fits online care
Dr. Simon often uses Client-Centered Therapy to start, which means sessions begin by listening closely to each person's concerns and priorities before choosing techniques. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that matter to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors between sessions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and workplace stress because it breaks down problems into concrete steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made. The process is flexible and driven by what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules while keeping a steady path toward change.
