Simone PhillipsLCSW

Simone Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Nevada who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and trauma. She creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming and learn steady coping skills.

Her work focuses on real-life problems like family conflict, communication breakdowns, and major life changes. Simone pays attention to attachment-related concerns such as abandonment and codependency. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, infidelity, jealousy, and the aftermath of domestic violence.

Simone uses practical therapy methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions often include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to reduce symptom burden. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that affect relationships and mood.

With three years of clinical experience, Simone aims to help people build resilience and more satisfying relationships. She works collaboratively, setting clear goals and checking progress along the way. Her approach emphasizes self-compassion, problem solving, and teaching skills that can be used between sessions.

People interested in pregnancy and childbirth topics can mention that area when connecting, and Simone will discuss how it fits into therapy goals. She offers services in English and practices in Nevada as an LCSW.

Approaches used in online work and what they do

Simone draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to practice different responses that reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and many day-to-day difficulties.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships repeatedly enter conflict.

Mindfulness therapy appears in sessions as simple attention and breathing practices that calm the nervous system and increase awareness of triggers. These practices are paired with skills so people have tools to use between appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.

If you are interested in online options, confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are more practical for people juggling work, childcare, or appointments related to pregnancy and childbirth.
