Simone Phillips , LCSW

Simone Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Nevada who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma concerns. She centers sessions on practical steps people can use right away. Simone aims to help clients feel steadier and more in control during life changes.

She uses straightforward techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage intense emotions and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help people notice reactions without getting swept away by them. Simone also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect current relationships.

Clients often come for help with attachment wounds, codependency, communication problems, or the aftermath of relationship hurts such as infidelity and divorce. She also supports people coping with caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, guilt, or shame. Simone pays attention to how stress and trauma shape daily life and decision making.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Simone helps people set small, realistic goals and practices skills between meetings. She explains tools in simple language and adjusts methods to fit each persons pace and needs.

With three years of clinical experience, Simone combines evidence-informed approaches with an emphasis on women's issues when relevant. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

How Simone uses evidence-based approaches online

Simone commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on clear, practical steps and homework tasks that people can practice between sessions to see small changes.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are useful for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Simone collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, current needs, and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
