About Bridgett
Bridgett Sims is an Oklahoma licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She takes a calm, straightforward approach and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and trauma. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to collaborate with each person to set clear, realistic goals.
Before moving into integrated care, she worked across many settings. That includes outpatient community mental health, inpatient teen care, home-based children’s services, residential substance use treatment, and vocational rehabilitation. This variety gives her a practical view of how mental health connects with daily life and medical needs.
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing as tools to help people build skills and make changes. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas when they fit the situation. Sessions focus on concrete steps, coping skills, and working toward goals the person sets.
Bridgett helps with a wide range of concerns, including parenting challenges, relationship issues, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses topics like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She asks questions, listens, and tailors strategies to each person’s life. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values. It can help with stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill practice, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Sessions are collaborative, with adjustments made as progress and needs change.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, support shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual sessions help them practice skills in real-world situations and keep therapy consistent during life transitions. Licensed professionals tailor methods to each person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique.
