About Ammarritta

Ammarritta Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and a range of mood or personality concerns. She has six years of clinical experience and works with issues such as grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, anger, and challenges related to gender and LGBT concerns.

Ammarritta aims for a warm, respectful tone in sessions. She listens first and adapts to each person's needs.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit daily life. Her work blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools and elements from dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

This mix lets her match strategies to the problem at hand rather than use one fixed method. Sessions are collaborative. Clients can expect to talk about what matters most to them, try strategies between meetings, and review progress together.

She avoids labels and centers each person’s experience when forming a plan. Ammarritta has experience addressing trauma, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, mood disorders, panic and personality disorder concerns. She also supports people coping with career stress, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, and recovery from substance use.

She offers services in English and provides session formats by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Ammarritta uses client-centered therapy to build a supportive space where people set the agenda and guide the pace. This approach helps when someone needs a listening ear and collaborative planning for real-life problems.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and improving daily routines.

EMDR is part of her toolbox for processing painful or traumatic memories when those techniques fit a person's goals. It aims to reduce the intensity of distress linked to specific events by working through memories with guided processing.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through options, weigh what fits the client’s needs and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is reviewed. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and ongoing text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth, chat can be a short check-in, and text messaging supports quick reflections between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, parenting, and busy days.
