About Simone
Simone Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Nevada with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and help with coping through life changes.
Simone focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of responding. Conversations are direct and aimed at skills people can use between appointments.
She pays close attention to attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and problems with communication. Simone also supports people dealing with divorce, infidelity, jealousy, narcissism, and caregiver stress. Guilt and shame are listed among the concerns she addresses.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies help with emotional regulation and tolerating distress.
Simone also incorporates mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when helpful. Solution-focused methods are used to identify immediate, manageable goals. Across approaches she aims to help people build steady habits and clearer boundaries.
Clients can expect straightforward planning, practice of coping skills, and talks about how past relationships shape current choices. Simone helps people translate insight into steps they can try in everyday life.
How Simone uses therapy methods online
Simone draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with persistent guilt, anxiety, and relationship patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, useful when shame or anger becomes overwhelming.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their responses without getting swept up in them, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals that feel doable. Choosing an approach is collaborative; Simone will discuss options and try approaches that align with a person's goals and preferences rather than prescribing one method from the start.
