About Bridgett
Bridgett Sims is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, grief, depression, parenting strain, trauma and related issues. She lists many additional focus areas including ADHD, intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, and caregiver stress.
Her background spans outpatient community mental health, inpatient teen care, home-based children's services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care that links physical and mental health. That variety gives her practical exposure to different life situations and service settings.
In sessions she keeps a relaxed, straightforward style. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to address thoughts, behaviors, emotional regulation, and motivation for change. She works with clients to set clear goals and build step-by-step skills to manage symptoms and make decisions.
When family or parenting stress is involved she helps people talk through communication problems, blended family issues, attachment concerns, and the strain of caregiving. She also supports people coping with loss, chronic health conditions, substance use, or career-related stress.
Her approach is collaborative: she checks in about goals, adjusts techniques as needed, and focuses on practical strategies that fit daily life. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her experience working across multiple care settings in Oklahoma.
How sessions work
How Bridgett uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behavior through practical exercises and homework. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing symptoms related to ADHD or mood conditions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It can help with intense emotions, anger, relationship conflicts, and self-directed behaviors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so techniques remain useful and relevant.
Confirm current session formats before booking to learn how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible check-ins during the week. Talk with the therapist about practical needs like session length, timing, and whether you prefer video or another supported option so sessions match your routine.
