Lyssa Solomon Simpson

Lyssa Solomon Simpson, LPC, uses a person-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, anger, and issues related to self-esteem and LGBT concerns. She emphasizes the client's own knowledge of their life and builds on existing strengths. Her tone is encouraging and straightforward, aimed at people taking early steps toward change.

With ten years of experience practicing in Georgia, she focuses on practical ways to manage difficult emotions. Sessions often involve talking through what’s happening now, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and trying small behavior changes. She aims for clear, doable steps rather than vague advice.

Lyssa also supports people facing mood challenges, post-traumatic stress, impulsivity, social anxiety, and concerns connected to adoption and foster care or abandonment. She works with sexual identity and sexuality questions and helps clients who struggle with self-harm urges or disruptive mood patterns. Her approach adapts to the issue at hand and the person in front of her.

Therapy sessions bring together elements of client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral work, and solution-focused planning. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when someone needs help finding internal motivation to try new things. The focus is on collaboration and small, achievable goals that fit daily life.

People can expect clear, direct conversation and a supportive stance that respects their pace. Lyssa invites curiosity, not judgment, and helps clients test new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

How Lyssa’s Approaches Work Online

Lyssa often uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, accepting space where the person’s goals steer the work. This approach prioritizes listening, reflecting what the person says, and helping them discover their own solutions.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps by identifying thought patterns that increase anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT focuses on small experiments and skill practice to change how situations are interpreted and how someone responds behaviorally.

Finding the best way to work together is part of the process. Lyssa collaborates with each person to choose which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and life. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or barriers appear.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
