About Bridgett
Bridgett Sims is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and other life challenges listed in her specialties.
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 brings together physical and mental health. Those settings give her experience with a wide range of situations and concerns.
In sessions she typically uses practical, skills-focused methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is a common starting point. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - and Motivational Interviewing depending on what a person needs.
Bridgett describes her style as laid back and collaborative. She works with each person to set clear goals and then practices skills and strategies to reach them. That often means learning ways to manage anxiety, improve sleep, reduce conflict, or handle urges related to addiction.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and difficulties with intimacy. For people coping with grief, chronic illness, caregiving stress, or career strain she focuses on concrete steps that can reduce day-to-day strain.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the practical routines Bridgett has developed over two decades of work. To start, the usual step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Bridgett commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and stress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who need concrete coping tools.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bridgett will work with each person to match methods to their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT techniques with DBT skills or drawing on attachment-based ideas to address relationship patterns.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people focus on practicing skills in the settings where they really need them. If a client has questions about how sessions run or which format would suit their routine, Bridgett will review options and plan sessions that fit practical needs.
