About Tina

Tina Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. She uses clear, direct conversations to help people sort through difficult feelings and daily struggles. Tina aims to make sessions practical so clients can try small changes between meetings and notice real differences over time.

She brings five years of practice as an LCSW, with prior CSW experience in Colorado. Her approach begins with listening without judgment and building a plan that fits each person’s goals.

Background and approach

That plan often mixes short-term tools with deeper work on patterns that keep problems recurring. Tina draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape expectations and reactions.

Mindfulness techniques help with stress and staying grounded in the present. Her interests include LGBT issues, grief, and self-esteem, and she works with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder as well as anxiety and relationship challenges. Additional focus areas listed in her practice include concerns like abandonment, codependency, and communication problems.

Sessions are offered in English and take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Tina notes that therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and that cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How Tina’s approaches work online

Tina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on concrete steps and practice, which translates well to video or phone sessions where homework and skill-building are discussed and tracked.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape expectations and reactions. That work can include reviewing patterns, practicing new ways of communicating, and reflecting on how past connections influence present feelings.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Tina will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and pace. She adjusts the plan based on what feels most useful during ongoing sessions so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice only, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins and step-by-step coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.

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.

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.
