About Simone

LCSW Simone O'Connor practices in Louisiana and has 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling in relationships, dealing with family conflict, or facing life transitions. Simone focuses on boosting self-esteem and teaching coping skills that can be used right away.

Simone works with each person at their own pace. She listens to what matters to the client and respects their values and beliefs. In sessions she uses proven, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to clarify problems and identify small, practical changes people can try between meetings.

Typical work includes learning specific coping strategies for stress and anxiety, talking through relationship patterns that cause strain, and sorting through family dynamics that feel stuck. She also supports people making big life changes by helping them weigh options and practice new ways of coping.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Simone helps people set realistic steps they can test in daily life, then reviews what worked and what didn’t. The emphasis is on building resilience and clearer decision-making rather than on labels or jargon.

Having practiced for more than two decades, Simone draws on long-term experience with a wide range of concerns. People who prefer straightforward, practical guidance may find this approach useful.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Many of the evidence-based techniques Simone draws on focus on skill-building and short experiments to test between sessions. For example, cognitive-behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying specific behavioral changes to see how feelings shift; this helps with anxiety and low self-esteem. Stress-management strategies teach practical breathing, pacing, and scheduling methods to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Simone will discuss different techniques, try approaches in early sessions, and adjust based on a client's needs and goals. The focus is on picking methods that fit the person's preferences and everyday life rather than committing to a single model up front.

Session format details should be confirmed before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and making it simpler to keep a regular check-in during life transitions. If a client needs a shorter check-in, or prefers not to use video, those practical options can be discussed and arranged where available. Always confirm current session options before scheduling.
