Simone Blidgen, LCSW

Simone Blidgen is a licensed social worker in Florida who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks plainly and works with individuals who feel stuck, isolated, or in the middle of life transitions. Her focus includes parenting concerns, career stress, grief, ADHD, and trauma and abuse.

Simone draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people make small, useful changes. Sessions often center on clearer thinking, stronger communication, and building routines that support daily functioning. She aims to make therapy a place to try new ways of coping and to practice them between sessions.

With ten years of experience as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Simone has supported people from diverse backgrounds. Her work pays attention to attachment patterns, how relationships shape feeling states, and ways to manage emotional dysregulation. She combines person-centered listening with strategies from cognitive behavioral work and skills-based methods.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through past hurts, current problems, and next steps. Simone often helps people sort priorities, set boundaries, and find practical ways to reduce daily overwhelm. She partners with each person to tailor goals and steps that fit their life.

Her background includes a decade of clinical practice in Florida and a steady focus on building resilience. Simone’s approach emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and skills people can use outside the session to handle grief, relationship difficulties, mood concerns, and workplace strain.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop clearer expectations and safer communication in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that maintain distress, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Simone will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set practical steps, try interventions, and adjust the plan based on what’s helpful.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by saving travel time, allowing quicker check-ins, and offering options that match comfort with video or audio. It also makes it simpler to continue care during life transitions and to practice skills where they arise. Licensed professionals generally adapt tools and homework so they work well in remote sessions, and Simone can discuss what will work best for an individual’s circumstances during the first scheduling steps.
