Jason Simon

Jason Simon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

He earned his master’s and specialist degrees in counseling from the University of Florida. His work history includes roles at the Alachua County Crisis Center, Meridian Behavioral Health Care, and a residential substance abuse treatment center called Metamorphosis. Those positions exposed him to crisis work and long-term recovery settings.

In sessions he emphasizes the role of the therapeutic relationship. He aims to be straightforward and nonjudgmental while helping clients talk through what’s weighing on them. Meetings typically involve exploring recent problems, identifying patterns, and trying practical ways to change day-to-day habits.

Jason often brings a direct, energetic presence to sessions. He draws on approaches grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage distress and make decisions about next steps in life. He works with adults at different stages and adapts the pace to each person’s comfort level.

People contact him when they feel stuck after a change, when old coping methods aren’t working, or when persistent shame or loneliness is getting in the way of daily life. He asks questions, listens for patterns, and helps people identify small, manageable shifts to test between sessions.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Jason uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach centers on coping strategies and relapse prevention skills that are useful for addictions and urges, teaching concrete steps to interrupt old patterns.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try specific strategies to see what helps. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs shift.

The exact online session formats available should be confirmed before booking. Confirm current session options when you schedule so you know whether video or phone sessions are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, and reduce travel time so consistent work on goals is more practical.
