About Lyssa
Lyssa Solomon Simpson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, anger, and LGBT-related concerns. She approaches care with respect for each person's strengths and life story.
In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their life. She listens first, then offers direction that fits what the client wants to change. Her style aims to build confidence and motivation while addressing practical problems that get in the way of daily functioning.
Background and approach
Lyssa uses straightforward tools to help people manage strong emotions and reduce anxious thinking. She also helps clients work through issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, impulsivity, and mood disorders. Phobias and social anxiety are included among the areas she addresses.
Her approach often involves setting small, achievable goals so progress feels manageable. Lyssa emphasizes clear communication and practical steps a person can use between sessions. She helps people notice what works and adjust plans when needed.
People who choose to work with her can expect a supportive tone and a focus on real-life changes. Sessions aim to increase coping skills, improve relationships, and strengthen self-worth. Lyssa meets each person where they are and partners with them on the path forward.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Lyssa integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so the person feels understood and supported. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, tackle phobias, and change patterns that fuel depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and what feels comfortable, then together they decide which methods to try and adjust as progress unfolds. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and relevant to each person's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or tracking homework between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on real steps and steady progress.
