About Ammarritta
Ammarritta Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She also supports clients dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, ADHD, and life transitions. Her work includes concerns related to LGBT issues, parenting strain, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Ammarritta keeps sessions warm and interactive. She listens closely and tailors conversations to each person's needs. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her approach blends several methods to match what a person needs. That can mean using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space, or EMDR for processing traumatic memories. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern.
She has six years of clinical experience and works with people who have faced physical trauma, emotional abuse, or complex mood and personality concerns. She can help with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and problems tied to shame, guilt, or forgiveness. Ammarritta offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.
Many people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting to see if the style feels right.

Online support
How therapy approaches work online
The Gottman Method focuses on interaction patterns and communication habits in close relationships. Online sessions using this approach help people notice repeating cycles and practice different ways of connecting and resolving conflict.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and respect. In video or phone sessions this means the therapist reflects what is said and helps people clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple skills to shift them in day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past, then try methods that fit best. This often means combining approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a good fit when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can work well for brief updates, coping skills, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions.
