About Marie

Marie Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, depression, and major life changes.

Marie focuses on clear, doable steps in sessions. She listens first, then helps set small goals you can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address symptoms and to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas shape her thinking about relationships and parenting. That helps when past wounds affect current family roles and communication.

Emotionally-focused methods add ways to name and share feelings more safely with others. Sessions can include short skills practice, problem solving, and checking what works for you. Plans are adjusted as needed so therapy stays relevant to your life.

Marie aims to support people who want steady, practical help while navigating difficult changes. She is licensed as an LCSW in Kentucky and works in English. Therapy is offered through online formats that fit busy schedules and varied needs.

If you are looking for straightforward guidance on parenting and family-related concerns, she brings long experience and a compassionate, nonjudgmental style.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It can help people accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful actions in family life and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with simpler, more effective habits. This approach often helps reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression through practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and then test them in real life, adapting as needed so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to check in between meetings. Online work supports regular contact, flexible scheduling, and the chance to practice skills in the home environment where many parenting and relationship issues show up.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
