About Enrique
Enrique Simmons is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction concerns, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting pressures, and ADHD. He works from Maryland and brings 13 years of clinical experience to each meeting. He uses an integrative style that combines different evidence-based methods to match what each person needs.
Sessions focus on building practical skills and routines. Enrique emphasizes hands-on tools people can use between visits to make daily life more manageable.
Background and approach
In a typical session he helps people learn coping skills, communication techniques, and problem-solving steps. He may use role-play, short skill practices, and simple homework to reinforce change. Sessions are about learning and trying new ways to respond to stress and strong emotions.
Enrique aims to create a clear plan with goals and steps that feel realistic. He treats the treatment plan as a working map to guide progress over time. The plan can include pacing, specific strategies, and focused practice for real-life situations.
Sessions are 45 minutes long and organized around measurable goals and practical practice. Enrique encourages collaboration so people have ownership of their progress. He supports steady skill-building so clients can apply what they learn outside of sessions.
Approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Enrique often uses integrative, evidence-based techniques that focus on skill building and behavior change. One common approach emphasizes structured skill practice - learning specific coping, stress management, and communication tools and rehearsing them in session so they can be used in daily life. This helps with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Another approach centers on routine development and problem solving - identifying unhelpful patterns, breaking them into manageable steps, and creating daily routines to support mood stability and focus, which can be useful for ADHD, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes.Finding the right blend of techniques is a collaborative process. Enrique works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adapts methods over time based on what helps most. He aims to make decisions together so the plan feels practical and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and practicing skills live. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or as a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while focusing on concrete skill-building.
