About Lyssa

Lyssa Solomon Simpson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with a decade of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and concerns related to LGBT identity.

Background and approach

She centers her work on the client's expertise about their own life, helping individuals identify strengths and build confidence while addressing motivation and self-esteem challenges. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with an empathic, client-centered stance.

That mix helps clients develop coping skills for mood and anxiety symptoms, improve communication, and manage emotional reactivity. Lyssa also brings focused attention to issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care history, impulsivity, social anxiety and phobias, trauma-related symptoms, and self-harm concerns.

Clients can expect a collaborative partnership that emphasizes gradual change and skill-building. Lyssa aims to empower people to take courageous steps toward more fulfilling patterns of living while tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and life context.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and phobias. It is practical and skill-oriented, helping people build tools for day-to-day coping and mood management.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and the client's lived experience as the foundation for change. This approach supports self-confidence and motivation by creating a collaborative space where personal strengths guide progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lyssa works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so people can try different strategies and adjust based on what proves most helpful.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to choose the format that best supports one’s daily life and therapeutic goals.
