Bridgett Sims, LPC

Bridgett Sims, LPC, uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, grief, and family challenges. She brings a calm, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on working with each person to set clear, realistic goals. Bridgett frames therapy as a collaborative effort and aims to empower clients to make steady change.

She has worked across outpatient community mental health, inpatient teen care, home-based children’s services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care that connects physical and mental health. That breadth shapes a flexible approach to common problems like depression, trauma, sleep troubles, parenting strain, and coping with life changes.

In sessions she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered principles. These methods are used to teach practical tools, shift unhelpful thinking, manage intense emotions, and build healthier relationships with self and others.

Bridgett emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. She helps people sort through priorities, practice new skills, and create plans that fit day-to-day life. Her aim is not quick fixes but steady progress toward a more fulfilling life.

With 21 years as a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma, Bridgett supports people facing addiction, bipolar challenges, ADHD, caregiving strain, body image concerns, and other complex, overlapping issues. She encourages anyone ready to take the first step to begin a goal-focused process.

How Bridgett’s Approaches Fit Remote Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions by clarifying what matters and creating small, consistent steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can be useful for stress, sleep problems, low mood, and managing symptoms of anxiety or bipolar conditions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is often helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when people want better ways to handle conflict and intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridgett will discuss your goals, needs, and preferences and will help you choose which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy unfolds.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins, or avoid needing full camera time when that helps. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your schedule and day-to-day needs.
