About Simone
Simone Hamilton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on practical, calm support for people facing big life changes. She draws on six years of direct counseling experience to help clients find steadier ground. Simone keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate so people feel heard and guided toward workable steps.
She uses an eclectic approach that pulls from person-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and skills from dialectical behavioral approaches. That means she listens first, helps you notice patterns of thought and behavior, and teaches tools to manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to what matters most to each person. Simone has worked across schools, college counseling centers, churches, community programs, and independent practice. That variety shaped how she adapts her work to different needs and daily routines.
She focuses on grief, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, and coping with life changes, with additional attention to communication problems, loneliness, life purpose, and self-love. In the room she aims to create a respectful, warm space where clients can try out new ways of responding. She emphasizes concrete skills as well as changing the inner stories that hold people back.
Her goal is to help clients build better emotional balance and clearer next steps. Simone is based in New York and sees people in English. She approaches therapy as a partnership, working at the client’s pace while offering practical tools and steady support.
How her methods work in online therapy
Simone draws on person-centered listening that centers the client's experience. This approach means the therapist focuses on understanding each person's perspective, offering empathy and space to talk through what matters most. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental partner to make sense of difficult emotions.She also uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. Those techniques are useful for grief, low self-esteem, and decision-making around work or life transitions. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help calm strong feelings and bring attention back to the present moment.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Simone will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to try based on goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. The plan can shift over time as clients learn and grow.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat can work for brief updates or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
