About Simone
Simone Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Nevada with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Simone works with adults who want practical strategies to manage intense feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.
Simone uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change how they act on them. Sessions include clear exercises people can practice between meetings, such as tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying new communication skills.
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused methods when those fit a client's goals. That can mean looking at patterns that show up in relationships or setting small, concrete goals for change. Simone aims to pick approaches that match what a person wants to work on and how they prefer to work.
Common concerns Simone addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, communication problems, infidelity and jealousy, and the effects of domestic violence. She helps people manage guilt, shame, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness through step-by-step interventions and reflective conversation.
Simone asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Payment is handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location.
How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness translate to online work
Simone commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns that drive distress and testing alternatives with practical exercises. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their present-moment experience and reduce reactivity through brief attention practices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include shifting between skills-based work and deeper pattern-focused conversation as needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask about available session types when you sign up. The online option can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins on difficult days, and reduce travel time. Simone uses structured, exercise-driven sessions online the same way she would in person, with clear homework, symptom tracking, and skill rehearsals to use between meetings.
