About Simone
Simone Blidgen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more connected in daily life. Simone aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what matters to them and start making changes that fit their real routines.
She often works with people adjusting to major life changes, coping with grief, or managing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. ADHD, attachment issues, and a range of identity and communication challenges are part of her clinical focus.
Simone uses a mix of approaches drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based methods, and client-centered care. Sessions emphasize building skills, clarifying values, and improving communication rather than lengthy theory. The goal is steady progress people can notice between appointments.
With ten years of experience and an FL LCSW credential, she brings practical knowledge to sessions while paying attention to each person's cultural background. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at helping clients find workable ways to manage symptoms and move toward goals.
Simone asks people to take small steps that match their lives, whether that means practicing new coping skills, setting boundaries, or trying different ways to relate to others. She supports parents juggling responsibilities, professionals facing burnout, and anyone seeking clearer direction after loss or change.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where direction feels unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors so daily routines become more manageable. It often helps with stress, panic, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves, which can aid in relationship strain and attachment difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work rather than a one-time choice. Simone will discuss goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust methods as needs and preferences become clearer. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so techniques feel useful and realistic.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people use skills between sessions in their everyday settings. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused methods to work in virtual meetings when that format is available.
