About Bridgett
Bridgett Sims is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and a range of life changes and relationship concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
Her background includes outpatient community mental health, inpatient care for teens, home-based children’s services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care that combined physical and mental health. That variety gives her experience with many different life circumstances and settings.
Bridgett uses approaches that help clients notice patterns, name emotions, and try new behaviors. She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. In sessions she and the client collaborate to set clear goals and practical next steps.
People can expect direct conversation about what is working and what needs to change. Bridgett emphasizes skills people can practice between sessions, such as behavior experiments, grounding techniques, or communication exercises. She also supports work on parenting challenges, managing sleep, coping with chronic illness, and navigating career stress.
Her approach is paced to the person’s needs, with simple language and concrete strategies. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online therapy options button.
How Bridgett’s approaches translate to online sessions
Bridgett uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name difficult emotions and the interaction patterns that keep those feelings stuck. EFT can be useful for work on attachment, closeness, and the emotional signals behind upsetting moments.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which identifies unhelpful thinking and tests different behaviors. ACT helps with coping and moving toward meaningful goals, while CBT is practical for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bridgett will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, adjusting based on needs, preferences, and progress. That collaborative decision-making helps shape goals and homework between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or longer check-ins when needed. Many people find online sessions helpful for keeping work on skills and communication consistent between appointments.
