About Gwyned
Dr. Gwyned Simpson is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 40 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career choices, and life changes. She also works with people struggling with addictions, anger, and questions about purpose and self-esteem.
Dr. Simpson combines practical approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and motivational methods to set clear goals. Sessions focus on identifying small changes that make daily life easier and more manageable.
Her background includes decades of work in career and life coaching alongside clinical counseling. That experience informs short-term goal setting and longer-term reflection when needed. She often helps people prioritize tasks, practice communication skills, and clarify next steps for work or relationships.
In sessions she talks through current problems, tests new ways of responding, and checks what actually helps. She uses solution-focused techniques when people want fast, concrete strategies. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Dr. Simpson asks clients to set practical goals and to try small experiments between meetings. She describes progress in specific behaviors and skills rather than broad promises. People who want structured, step-by-step work with attention to both present problems and life story may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Simpson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. CBT sessions typically involve setting concrete goals, practicing exercises, and reviewing what worked between meetings. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and supporting the client's own priorities, and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify ambivalence and find practical reasons to change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying a focused, short-term plan with solution-focused steps or spending more time on deeper patterns if needed.

The therapist and client will work together to set a schedule and session length that match daily life and goals.
