About Ammarritta
Ammarritta Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports people coping with addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and concerns related to gender or sexual identity.
Her sessions aim to be warm and interactive. She listens without labeling and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
How Ammarritta works
Ammarritta draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or depression and practice different responses.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for certain trauma-related memories. She has six years of experience as an LCSW and has worked with a wide range of concerns, including PTSD, mood disorders, and substance-related challenges. That background supports practical strategies alongside emotional support.
Ammarritta works with people who want to make changes in daily life, careers, parenting, and relationships. Sessions can include problem-solving, skills practice, and focused talk therapy depending on the goal. She encourages collaborative planning so therapy stays relevant to what matters now.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ammarritta uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's own goals and perspective. That approach focuses on empathetic listening and helps people feel heard while they decide what changes matter most.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms by teaching practical ways to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of her toolkit for managing intense emotions and improving coping. DBT offers concrete techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life factors to decide which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days or follow up between sessions. These options help people access consistent care around schedules and life demands.
