About Bridgett
Bridgett Sims is an LPC who focuses on practical, goal-focused therapy. She brings 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction issues, grief, and depression. She also supports men’s wellbeing concerns listed among her specialties. Her approach is calm and down-to-earth, and she works with each person to set clear goals for change.
Her background includes work in outpatient community mental health, inpatient care for teens, home-based children’s services, and residential substance use treatment. She has also worked in vocational rehabilitation and in integrated care settings that connect physical and mental health. That variety gives her experience with a wide range of life situations.
In sessions she leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other collaborative methods to help people build skills and make real changes. Conversations focus on practical steps, learning new ways to cope, and understanding patterns that keep problems going. She aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate in every interaction.
Bridgett helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, family stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and career strain. She also addresses issues such as attachment, body image, chronic illness, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Her work emphasizes partnership: clients and therapist decide what to try, what to track, and how to adjust as progress is made. She invites people to take the first steps toward clearer goals and more manageable day-to-day life.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that line up with their values. It can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on what matters most and taking small steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors feed problems and teaches practical exercises to change those patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to communicate when feelings feel overwhelming; it can help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and impulse-driven behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means testing approaches, tracking what helps, and making adjustments if something isn’t working as hoped.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people meet from different locations within the same state. If you prefer to discuss which format fits your routine, the therapist will review options when you start.
