Jason Simon , LMHC

Jason Simon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Supervisor in Florida. As a graduate of the University of Florida, he earned both a Masters degree and a Specialist degree in counseling, training that prepared him to work across crisis, residential, and outpatient settings. The Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, often abbreviated LMHC, indicates state licensure to provide professional counseling, and his Licensed Clinical Supervisor status allows him to support and oversee other counselors.

His clinical background includes roles at the Alachua County Crisis Center, Meridian Behavioral Health Care, and Metamorphosis, a residential substance abuse treatment center. Those experiences shaped his belief in the power of healing through relationships and taught him practical ways to support people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. He centers his work on building a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges and pursue change.

Jason brings a steady, positive presence to sessions and adapts his approach to meet each person where they are, whether working with teenagers or adults later in life. He focuses on helping clients move through grief, manage stress and addiction-related issues, and build the skills and insight needed to grow and recover.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Jason uses evidence-informed, skills-based methods that help people learn practical tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. These approaches focus on building coping skills and changing patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, making them useful for clients seeking clear strategies and measurable progress.

He also emphasizes relational and supportive techniques that draw on the healing power of trusted connections. This style helps clients process grief, address isolation, and work through challenges related to addiction and life transitions by fostering a collaborative, empathetic therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work together. Jason collaborates with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time so the therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care without disrupting daily life. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow therapy to continue from different locations, and make it possible to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
