Lyssa Solomon Simpson, LPC

Lyssa Solomon Simpson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety, build self-esteem, and increase motivation. Lyssa helps people facing depression, anger, and LGBT-related concerns through straightforward, goal-oriented work.

She approaches sessions believing each person knows their own story. That perspective shapes short-term goals and the step-by-step plans she uses. Conversations are collaborative and aim to turn strengths into ways to cope with current problems.

Lyssa blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered conversations. She uses motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change and solution-focused tools to set manageable next steps. Sessions often include concrete exercises clients can try between meetings to track progress.

Her experience includes helping people with mood disorders, phobias, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm concerns. She also addresses issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, and young adult transitions. Communication problems, impulsivity, and social anxiety are common topics too.

Lyssa offers multiple formats for ongoing contact. She encourages questions about what will work best and helps people try different approaches until they find the right fit. Her style is direct, empathetic, and centered on practical change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Lyssa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to ease anxiety and mood problems. Client-centered work centers the conversation on the person's experience and values, helping people feel heard and clearer about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods collaboratively. Adjustments are normal - methods can be mixed so the plan fits the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and texting works for ongoing, short messaging between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
