About Ammarritta
Ammarritta Simpson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with six years of practice. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting strain, anger, career issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and changes in life circumstances.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses straightforward talk to identify what causes distress and what currently helps. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clearer thinking, and coping strategies rather than jargon or labels.
She draws on a mix of methods including Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and elements of the Gottman Method. That lets her shift between skill-building, emotion regulation, trauma processing, and relationship-focused work depending on the issue presented.
In sessions she helps people name patterns, test small changes, and practice new ways of responding to anger and stress. She also helps untangle shame, guilt, and reactions that follow abuse or traumatic events. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier behavior over time rather than a quick fix.
Practical matters such as scheduling and cost are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire, review online therapy options, and schedule an initial session to begin.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Ammarritta commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. EMDR is used to address disturbing memories and reactions that keep people stuck after trauma.She also uses client-centered principles to keep the experience collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which approach to try first, then adjust based on progress and preferences. Figuring out the right method is part of the early sessions and is done together rather than imposed.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can make it simpler to have a short check-in during a lunch break or to continue care when travel or relocation happens. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another option is available.
