About Ammarritta
Ammarritta Simpson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, and anger. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, parenting strain, and issues around gender and sexual identity. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Ammarritta uses a straightforward, interactive style that asks questions and listens carefully. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the conversation on the person in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that fuel anger and DBT skills for managing emotion and distress.
EMDR is included among her methods for working with traumatic memories when that is appropriate to the person’s goals. She uses the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work and motivational interviewing techniques when change feels hard to start. Treatment plans are adjusted over time to focus on practical skills and day-to-day coping.
People who come because they snap at loved ones, feel resentful at work, or struggle with mounting frustration can expect clear strategies and short-term skill building alongside deeper trauma work if needed. Conversations move between skill practice, reflection, and problem solving.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard; online sessions use that same back-and-forth to identify what matters most and set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and behaviors and trying small experiments; online meetings make it easy to review homework, track mood, and practice techniques between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for anger and high stress, and those skills can be taught and rehearsed in virtual sessions.Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, current difficulties, and preferences and then recommends a mix of methods. Plans can shift as the work unfolds so the person and therapist can follow what helps most.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking because the biography did not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit brief check-ins or longer sessions into a busy week. It also lets people practice skills in their day-to-day environment, complete short between-session exercises, and bring real examples into conversation without needing extra travel.
