About Marie
Marie Simpson is a Kentucky licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her approach aims to make emotional work feel manageable and not overwhelming.
Marie centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in conversations. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts discussion and exercises to fit their situation.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be a place to try out new ways of coping and to name what feels stuck. Her work draws on several therapeutic styles. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and small actions that match those values.
Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect current trust and security. Marie also brings existential perspective to questions about meaning, responsibility, and choice when life feels uncertain. That can help people facing transitions, losses, or big decisions to slow down and notice what really matters.
She keeps language simple and avoids jargon so clients can use what they learn right away. Intended outcomes and pace are set together. Marie tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs and goals.
She aims to support clients in finding clearer direction and more manageable ways to cope.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches available online and how they help
Existential Therapy helps people wrestle with big questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility when life feels uncertain. It can be useful for clients facing major transitions, grief, or a sense of being stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by building committed, value-driven habits.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a client's goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying things, adjusting as needed, and keeping the focus on what helps the person move forward.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing expressions. Phone sessions are low-bandwidth and work well for check-ins or when a camera isn't desired. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
