About Ammarritta

Ammarritta Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress. She brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions and aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical for everyday life.

She uses a warm, interactive style that centers the person's experience. Conversations are collaborative and focused on what matters most to the client. Ammarritta avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs, rather than using the same steps for everyone.

With six years of clinical experience, Ammarritta has supported people through grief, addiction, PTSD, mood disorders, and relationship struggles. She has also worked with those affected by physical or emotional abuse and challenges linked to identity and gender dysphoria.

Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking patterns, and building strategies to manage strong emotions. She also helps people make concrete plans for life changes, career stress, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.

How her approaches translate to online work

Ammarritta commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, person-focused space. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people voice what they need from therapy.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT helps people learn practical strategies to manage depression, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be used to build emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills when intense feelings are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins during a work break. Some formats require less bandwidth or allow for shorter check-ins, which can help maintain therapy during life transitions.
