About Bridgett

Bridgett Sims is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of experience. She brings a calm, down-to-earth style and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Bridgett concentrates on stress and anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma and many life transitions including parenting and career challenges.

She has worked in outpatient community mental health and inpatient care for teens. Her background also includes home-based children’s services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care that blends physical and mental health. This variety has shaped a flexible, real-world approach.

Bridgett often uses cognitive behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage difficult thoughts and emotions. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-informed perspectives to support deeper change. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with emphasis on what matters most to each person.

Many clients come for relationship stress, parenting strain, sleep problems, or coping with chronic illness and caregiver burden. She also helps with attention differences, bipolar mood concerns, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Money and financial issues are listed among the topics Bridgett addresses when they affect daily life and wellbeing.

The first meetings will identify priorities and practical steps. Bridgett encourages small, doable changes and supports clients as they build new habits. Her manner is respectful and nonjudgmental while staying focused on measurable progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and take steps toward them even when hard feelings show up. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior that keep problems going; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridgett will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She treats the choice as flexible and will adjust strategies based on what helps in real life.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that using focused skills from CBT or ACT between sessions helps maintain progress in daily routines.
