About Tina

Tina Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also supports LGBTQ people and those dealing with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. Tina writes plainly and aims to help clients improve communication and day-to-day coping skills.

Tina uses a few different approaches to match a client’s needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives.

She emphasizes working together to set specific, achievable goals. That often begins with small communication changes that reduce conflict and pressure at home. Sessions can include mindful skills to reduce overwhelm and motivational interviewing to encourage steps toward change.

Tina has five years of experience as a clinical social worker. Her background includes working with people who experience autism traits, abandonment or attachment struggles, codependency, and caregiver stress. She tends to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space and helps clients notice strengths they already have.

People who contact her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an appointment. She practices in Colorado and conducts work in English. Prospective clients are invited to reach out and start the intake conversation before booking.

How Tina’s approaches translate to online work

Tina commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques during sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and communication, helping people notice and change repeating cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. Tina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She combines methods as needed and adjusts the plan as clients try new skills and report back on what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are arranged during intake. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove travel time so people can use a break at work. It can also make it easier to practice communication skills in real-life moments between sessions. Talk with Tina during the matching step to clarify how sessions will be scheduled and what will work best for everyday life.
