About Simon

Simon Camarillo is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping men and others manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. He emphasizes simple, practical steps to build self-understanding and stronger coping skills. Sessions are aimed at helping people reconnect with purpose and move past patterns that hold them back.

He draws on client-centered work to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Mindfulness skills are added to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day focus.

Simon also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed methods when a situation calls for them. That means setting clear goals, tracking small changes, and addressing past hurt at a manageable pace. He pays attention to how past experiences influence current behavior and relationships.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns - from panic attacks and mood disorders to substance use and issues around intimacy or body image. He names men’s issues specifically among his common focus areas and also supports work on career, parenting, and grief-related challenges.

Across eight years of clinical practice he aims to keep work straightforward and goal-oriented. The tone in sessions tends to be compassionate and structured, with practical tools and short-term strategies alongside deeper exploration when needed.

How Simon’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's priorities, and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. This approach helps people set their own goals and feel heard while working through stress, life purpose questions, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and compulsive behaviors because it breaks problems into steps that can be tried between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These skills can help with impulse control, rumination, and managing symptoms of mood disorders.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to use therapy tools between appointments when sessions are held remotely.
