She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop practical coping strategies. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are available for building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used as a trauma-focused option to address disturbing memories when it fits the client’s goals and clinical plan.

Simpson frames online work as collaborative; she and the client decide together which approach or combination of approaches best matches current concerns and goals. Sessions can include guided exercises, skill practice, reflective discussion, and targeted interventions based on the chosen methods.
