About Ammarritta
Ammarritta Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports those facing addictions, parenting strain, LGBT concerns, anger, career changes, bipolar mood shifts, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her tone is direct and compassionate to put worried parents at ease.
Her sessions are warm and interactive. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on current problems and practical steps that can be tried between meetings. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Ammarritta draws on several approaches to suit different needs.
She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps uncover unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma work when appropriate, and uses parts of the Gottman Method for relationship communication when that is relevant to goals. The blend is adapted to each person rather than one fixed method. With six years of clinical experience, Ammarritta balances practical coaching with therapeutic care.
She works by phone, video call, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and she holds New Jersey licensure as LCSW.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the issues that matter most to the person, helping build trust and a clear direction for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, then teaches practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and strengthening relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. From there she will suggest methods to try and adjust them as needed so the plan fits the client's life and aims.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients share thoughts in shorter bursts or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily routines while staying focused on progress.
