Enrique Simmons, LPC, LCPC

Enrique Simmons is a licensed counselor with more than 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. He focuses on practical skills that people can use right away. He speaks English and practices in Maryland as an LPC and LCPC.

He aims for an approachable, problem-solving style. Sessions emphasize building routines, practicing coping strategies, and improving day-to-day functioning. Enrique uses role-play, problem solving, and simple homework to help people try new behaviors between visits.

His approach is integrative, meaning he draws on different techniques rather than following a single method. That flexibility lets him match strategies to what each person needs during a session. The work often includes setting clear goals and developing a treatment plan together.

Early sessions focus on understanding the immediate concerns and creating a practical road map with goals and steps. Most sessions last 45 minutes and include education and self-assessment alongside skill practice.

People who come for help can expect a collaborative process. Enrique supports learning coping and stress-management tools, improving communication patterns, and creating routines that support lasting change. He encourages clients to be active in their treatment and to try exercises between appointments.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Enrique commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on learning and practicing new skills. One approach emphasizes behavioral strategies such as building routines, role-play, and gradual skill practice to change unhelpful patterns; this helps with anxiety, mood problems, and daily coping. Another approach centers on problem-solving and education, teaching concrete steps to manage stress, cravings, or emotional triggers so people can handle challenges more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked, with an emphasis on what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session types offered. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support practicing skills in the context of everyday routines, since people can work on assignments and return to the next session to review what worked.
