About Simon
Simon Rabas is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with seven years of practice. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He communicates in plain language and aims to make first steps feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.
Simon sees each person as the expert on their own life. He draws on a person’s existing strengths to build practical changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are a mix of talking, problem-solving, and setting small goals that fit daily life. He often helps people work through communication problems, loneliness, questions about life purpose, and the pressures of work or money. He also supports men who want to address issues specific to them and people trying to improve self-love.
Simon keeps things straightforward and goal-oriented. He will listen first, then suggest steps to try between sessions. Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what’s changing.
Therapy with him can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits someone’s schedule. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that works for them.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear actions people can try. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method teaches practical ways to notice patterns and experiment with new responses.Another approach focuses on building skills for managing strong emotions like anger and overwhelm. It breaks down moments of high emotion into manageable steps and teaches breathing, grounding, and pacing strategies to use when feelings rise. These skills are meant to be practiced between sessions so they become easier over time.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Simon listens to what matters most, discusses options, and adapts techniques to fit someone’s goals and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility that many people find helpful. Video calls let people see facial cues and use screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling, or when someone needs more frequent support without scheduling a call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine.
