About Tina

Tina Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Colorado who blends practical strategies with empathic support to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience and credentials listed as LCSW and CSW, she emphasizes clear communication and collaborative goal-setting to help clients make steady progress toward improved emotional functioning. Her work includes attention to issues commonly connected to mood and identity, such as LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, self-esteem struggles, family problems, and codependency.

Tina draws from a range of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-focused interventions, while also integrating mindfulness and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs. Clients seeking support for abandonment wounds, caregiving stress, dissociation, or communication challenges will find an approach that values unconditional positive regard and practical skills.

Tina frames therapy as a team effort, helping clients identify strengths, set achievable goals, and develop clearer ways of relating to themselves and others as they work toward lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Many clients find that combining focused, skills-based work with an understanding of relational patterns helps them move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns influence emotions and behavior, helping people improve communication and connection in important relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance so clients can explore their experience and make choices that feel authentic.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then tailors a combination of methods that align with those priorities. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Tina is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy routines, and allow clients to engage in ways that suit their communication style while working on emotional and relational goals.
