About Simone
Simone Blidgen is an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem problems, and lists social anxiety and phobia among the concerns she addresses. She also helps with relationship and parenting challenges, grief, trauma, ADHD, and career or life changes.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to what is happening now and what has happened before. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, steadier emotion management, and practical coping skills people can use day to day.
Simone uses several evidence-based approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thought and behavior. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice values and take small committed steps. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connection and trust.
Over a decade in practice she has worked with adults navigating isolation, identity shifts, and relationship strain. She helps people who feel stuck after loss or separation and those learning to regulate mood and impulses. Her focus includes addressing abandonment and attachment concerns and problems with communication and commitment.
Simone aims to make sessions practical. Expect help with concrete skills, short experiments between meetings, and checking what does or does not help. People who worry about social situations or feel watched often start by naming specific moments that cause discomfort and practicing small changes in those moments.
How her approaches translate to online work
Simone uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) among other approaches. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Simone will work with each person to see which methods suit their goals, preferences, and the kinds of situations that cause distress. That collaboration helps set concrete steps people can try between sessions and adjust over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and bring real moments from day-to-day life into sessions for discussion and role play.
