About Simone

Simone Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and trauma. She keeps sessions focused and straightforward so parents and caregivers can find usable tools quickly. Simone practices in Nevada and brings three years of clinical experience to each meeting.

She blends several evidence-based approaches. Simone uses strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Background and approach

She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment focus. Her work often centers on communication problems, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and coping with life changes. Simone also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, infidelity, and feelings of guilt or shame.

The goal in sessions is practical progress - clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better decision making. Simone aims to make therapy manageable for busy people. She uses short-term, solution-focused steps alongside deeper psychodynamic attention when needed.

This mix helps clients solve immediate problems while also understanding patterns that keep repeating. Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

Practical approaches for online therapy and growth

Simone often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and habits that interfere with daily life.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are helpful when feelings feel overwhelming and communication breaks down.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Simone will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor methods to fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where tools are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice new skills between sessions. The focus stays on useful strategies and steady progress regardless of format.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
