About Simone

Simone Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Simone lists codependency among her focus areas and often addresses attachment and communication problems alongside those concerns.

Simone uses several evidence-based approaches to help people manage difficult feelings and situations. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Her background includes work with people facing abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, infidelity, jealousy, and navigating separation or divorce. She also helps with issues linked to domestic violence, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings, such as communication practices and coping skills.

Simone describes her style as direct and collaborative. She helps clients set small, manageable goals and tracks progress over time. The therapy room is used to practice boundary-setting, improve communication, and unpack patterns that lead to people-pleasing or losing a sense of self.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Nevada. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.

How sessions work

How Simone uses talk therapy approaches online

Simone uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and focuses on current problems like anxiety, relationship patterns, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. DBT skills can be useful when strong emotions lead to impulsive or damaging responses. Mindfulness Therapy is another part of her work, teaching observation of thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, which can reduce reactivity in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Simone will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. She reviews progress and adjusts techniques so the work matches what the client needs and what feels manageable.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and offer options that avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt worksheets, skills training, and communication practice to a digital setting so the same exercises used in person can be practiced between meetings.
