About Simon

Simon Anderson Schelling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers affirming, client-centered therapy for people managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and concerns related to LGBTQ identities.

Background and approach

He practices from a stance of acceptance and curiosity, helping clients explore feelings and life challenges while honoring each person's lived experience. With four years of clinical experience, Simon blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a warm, human approach so clients feel seen and supported as they work toward clearer coping strategies and emotional balance.

He also provides focused care around topics including autism and Asperger syndrome, gender dysphoria, mood disorders, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, BDSM and kink culture, sexuality, and self-harm. Simon works in Indiana and conducts sessions in English as part of his practice.

Approaches and Online Options for Collaborative Care

Two evidence-informed approaches often used in this practice are cognitive behavioral techniques, which help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning, and skill-based interventions aimed at emotional regulation and interpersonal communication that support mood regulation and navigating relationship or identity-related stress. These kinds of techniques tend to be practical and focused on building tools clients can use between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist partners with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying different strategies, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or varied energy levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across distance and provide multiple ways to engage with a licensed professional according to what feels most accessible for the client.
