About Tina
Tina Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She works with people navigating LGBT issues, bipolar mood challenges, and struggles with self-esteem. Tina offers straightforward support and practical steps so clients can feel steadier day to day.
With five years of experience, Tina draws on several well-established approaches. She focuses on building trusting connections, understanding how past attachments shape current patterns, and helping people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and aim for clear, achievable goals rather than vague plans. Tina uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s perspective and pace.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with grounding and stress management. Her work includes attention to abandonment, codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, and issues tied to gender identity and grief. Tina pays attention to how dissociation, emptiness, and avoidant coping affect daily life, and she helps people build small, concrete skills to manage these experiences.
Sessions are offered from Colorado and conducted in English. Practical matters such as scheduling, fees, and the best communication format are discussed up front so people can choose what fits their life. Tina aims to make therapy feel manageable and focused on real change.
How Tina Uses Practical Approaches Online
Tina often combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral work to help people change patterns that cause pain. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling; it helps when trust, closeness, or fear of abandonment get in the way of connection. Cognitive behavioral work looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is something Tina treats as a team effort. She will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you will check in on what helps and adjust the plan so sessions feel useful and focused on what you want to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when you prefer not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to keep continuity and practice new skills in everyday moments.
