About Ammarritta Simpson

Ammarritta Simpson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health concerns. She has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, post-traumatic stress, schizophrenia, addiction, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, and the aftermath of physical or emotional abuse. Her practice also addresses grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, and issues related to trauma and recovery.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She does not rely on stigmatizing labels and aims to meet each person where they are. Her approach draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques alongside humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive ideas to create tailored treatment plans. Sessions are shaped to fit each individual’s needs, preferences, and goals so that therapy becomes a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Ammarritta views the decision to begin therapy as an act of courage and a first step toward a more fulfilling life. She focuses on empowering clients, building coping skills, and supporting meaningful change, and she welcomes the opportunity to work together with those ready to take that step.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills - it can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach intended to help process and reduce the impact of distressing memories through structured bilateral stimulation and guided interventions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is worked out collaboratively. Ammarritta and the client review symptoms, goals, and personal preferences to determine which methods may be most helpful, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the fit remains appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while still focusing on effective, goal-oriented work.
