Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Ammarritta Simpson integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work - it is helpful for building self-esteem, clarifying values, and exploring relationship concerns. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when clients need skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Ammarritta works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility to fit care into busy lives. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for consistent contact, easier scheduling, and the ability to work on skills and insight from home or other convenient settings. This range of options can make it simpler to maintain momentum and receive ongoing support between sessions.
