About Simone
Simone Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma. She works to make therapy straightforward and useful, guiding clients toward clearer choices and calmer days.
Simone uses practical techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns. She also brings mindfulness practices and psychodynamic insight into sessions to help clients understand what drives their feelings and reactions.
She has three years of experience and practices in Nevada as an LCSW. Simone focuses on everyday concerns like communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. She helps people manage guilt, shame, emptiness, and the impact of domestic violence and attachment wounds.
In sessions she aims to balance short-term problem solving with deeper understanding. That might mean setting small goals, testing new behaviors, and noticing long-standing emotional patterns that keep returning. Simone emphasizes self-compassion while working on practical skills like emotion regulation and clearer communication.
People who choose her typically want both concrete tools and a chance to look at deeper experiences. She encourages realistic steps toward change and supports clients as they practice new ways of relating and coping.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Simone uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns because it focuses on clear steps and experiments to try between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication repeatedly breaks down. Mindfulness therapy is another strand she draws on to build attention and reduce reactivity through simple awareness practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and temperament. That means trying tools, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan over time so it feels useful and realistic.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current session choices before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Simone aims to make therapy practically useful so people can try skills in daily life and bring back what worked to subsequent sessions.
