About Bridgett
Bridgett Sims is an Oklahoma-licensed counselor who brings 21 years of clinical experience to her practice.
Background and approach
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, family conflict, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a wide range of related challenges. Her approach is collaborative and client-focused, with an emphasis on practical strategies that fit each person’s life.
Across settings that have included outpatient community mental health, inpatient teen care, home-based children's services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care combining physical and mental health, she has supported clients through transitions and complex needs.
She describes her style as laid back while drawing on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to empower change. Bridgett centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions and partners with clients to identify goals and develop tailored steps toward a more satisfying life.
She holds the LPC credential and practices in Oklahoma, offering a steady, empathetic presence for people ready to take steps toward improved coping and wellbeing.
Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical coping
Bridgett integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so clients can build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictions. ACT helps people clarify core values and take committed action even when difficult emotions are present, which can support those navigating grief, life changes, or chronic stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust techniques over time so the plan feels useful and achievable rather than prescribed from the outset.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication mode that feels most comfortable while working toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning.
