About Simone
Simone Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and big life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
Simone uses several evidence-informed methods to help people manage strong feelings and daily demands. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their reactions and reduce reactivity.
Her work includes addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and struggles with jealousy or infidelity. Simone also helps people cope with the aftereffects of domestic violence, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and communication breakdowns that make relationships tense.
In sessions she combines short-term problem solving with deeper exploration of patterns that repeat across relationships. That might look like setting small experiments, practicing new ways to speak up, or tracing where an intense reaction started. The focus is on skills that fit into everyday life.
Simone encourages clear goals and regular check-ins on progress. She asks about current stresses and practical limits, then works with each person to build steps they can try between appointments. People come away with specific tools for handling conflicts and changes at home.
How sessions work
How Simone’s approaches are used in online sessions
Simone commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practice in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and bodily reactions in the moment and practicing steady attention to reduce reactivity.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These approaches suit people who want hands-on tools for managing anxiety, relationship conflicts, caregiving stress, or trauma symptoms. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; Simone reviews goals and preferences and adjusts the plan over time.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Simone will discuss how to structure appointments so therapy fits routine obligations and the practical constraints of daily life.
