About Tina

Tina Simpson is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and identity questions.

Background and approach

She brings five years of clinical experience to work with issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship and family difficulties, and concerns related to LGBT identity and gender dysphoria. Tina emphasizes inclusive, respectful care and seeks to tailor treatment to each person’s life circumstances.

Her approach combines Internal Family Systems with attachment-based perspectives and client-centered techniques, among other evidence-informed methods. Tina uses conversational, goal-oriented work to strengthen communication skills, address patterns like codependency or avoidance, and reduce feelings of emptiness, guilt, or shame.

She also addresses neurodivergent concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and common stressors including caregiver strain and co-occurring conditions. Tina practices in Colorado and works in English.

She offers a collaborative atmosphere that starts with understanding each client’s priorities and builds toward practical steps to improve daily functioning and relationships. Scheduling and session options are adapted to client needs and availability.

Integrating Inner Parts and Attachment Work Online

Internal Family Systems helps people explore inner parts of themselves - those voices, emotions, or roles that influence behavior - and learn to relate to them with curiosity rather than judgment. This approach can be useful for addressing patterns like anxiety, shame, dissociation, and identity-related distress by developing more compassionate internal leadership.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current ways of connecting with others, offering tools to improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate relationship or family difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that emphasizes the client’s own goals and values and helps build self-understanding and agency.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which combination of approaches best aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method from the start.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow ongoing work on communication skills, mood regulation, and identity exploration from wherever the client is located in Colorado, making it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
