About Ammarritta

Ammarritta Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She also works with concerns such as grief, addiction, ADHD, mood disorders, and issues tied to identity and gender. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at making difficult conversations easier to start.

She brings six years of practice as a therapist to each session.

Background and approach

That experience includes helping people cope after physical or emotional harm and managing conditions like bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on each person’s strengths and needs. Ammarritta’s style is interactive and respectful.

Sessions are collaborative and shaped around practical steps that fit daily life. She listens first, then suggests approaches that match the immediate problem and the person’s goals. Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, and EMDR for trauma-related needs.

She tailors techniques rather than using one fixed method so people get what feels most useful to them. People who reach out can expect clear conversation and focused strategies for coping and change. Ammarritta emphasizes small, doable steps and ongoing adjustment as progress is made.

She aims to help people feel more able to handle life’s challenges and parenting stresses as they arise.

Online support

Approaches for online support and coping

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building on their strengths. It involves reflective listening and collaborative goal-setting to help people feel heard and to find practical ways forward, which can be useful for stress, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions teach specific skills to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits, often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It offers tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, mood swings, and interpersonal strain.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit best. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skill work and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send quick updates, review coping steps, or check in between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
