About Enrique
Enrique Simmons is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges. He uses practical tools to address mood concerns, trauma, relationship strains, ADHD, and life transitions. Enrique works from Maryland and brings 13 years of experience to his practice.
He describes an integrative counseling style that borrows from multiple evidence-based techniques. Sessions focus on building routines and simple strategies clients can use outside the session.
Background and approach
Enrique emphasizes skills practice such as role-play, problem solving, and communication exercises. Early meetings center on creating a clear plan. The therapist and client collaborate to set goals and outline steps to reach them.
Plans include objectives, interventions, and homework designed to make day-to-day changes more achievable. Sessions typically run about 45 minutes and are aimed at teaching coping and stress-management skills. Enrique uses education, self-assessment, and behavior rehearsal to help people practice new responses to old patterns.
Progress is tracked against the treatment plan so adjustments can be made. Clients who want a straightforward, skills-focused approach will find practical tasks to try between sessions. Enrique aims to help people become more confident managing emotions and daily challenges, and to strengthen habits that support long-term change.

Therapeutic methods and how online sessions help
Enrique draws on integrative, evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common emphasis is skill-based work that teaches coping strategies, communication techniques, and routines to reduce stress and manage mood. This approach helps people practice concrete behaviors between sessions and measure small wins.Another element is problem-solving and behavioral rehearsal. Sessions use role-play, step-by-step planning, and self-assessment to break larger problems into manageable tasks. That style tends to suit concerns such as anxiety, addiction tendencies, parenting challenges, and life transitions because it focuses on what to do next rather than only talking about feelings.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful and what a person prefers.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for coaching and role-play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to get brief support, share updates, and receive homework prompts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy family and work schedules.
