Tina Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and issues tied to identity and relationships. She speaks English and works with adults in Colorado. Tina centers straightforward, empathetic conversation so people can start making small, real changes quickly.

Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps the person can try between meetings. People come to her for relationship troubles, communication problems, grief, low self-esteem, gender dysphoria concerns, and stress related to caregiving or family roles. She also supports people working with abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and the emotional effects of autism and Asperger syndrome.
Tina describes her work as collaborative and strengths-based. With five years of clinical experience, Tina aims to build a steady, respectful working relationship. She starts by listening to the person’s story and then co-creates a plan that feels manageable.
Progress is tracked in simple ways so adjustments can be made when needed. Tina offers a mix of session formats to fit different schedules and needs. She prefers an accessible, no-judgment approach that keeps the person’s goals in view while exploring how past experiences shape current choices.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
How her approaches translate to online work
Online sessions often begin with Narrative Therapy, which helps a person tell their story out loud and notice patterns they want to change. This approach is useful for identity questions, relationship patterns, and making sense of past events that still affect daily life.Attachment-Based Therapy is another common thread in her work. It looks at how early connection styles shape current relationships and helps people try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and following the person's lead so goals reflect what matters most to them.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a more conversational session, phone can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for quick check-ins or shorter reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while still keeping steady contact with a licensed professional.
