About Bridgett
Bridgett Sims is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, grief, depression, trauma and related concerns that often appear in early adulthood. Bridgett commonly helps people facing relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar disorder.
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 combines physical and mental health. Those settings inform a practical, problem-focused approach. Sessions tend to be relaxed and straightforward. Bridgett uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches.
In a typical session she works with clients to set clear goals and build skills to manage emotions, reduce anxiety, and change unhelpful patterns. She also addresses grief, substance use coping, and family-related stress in concrete steps. She emphasizes collaboration about which strategies fit each person’s life and values.
Her experience across inpatient, outpatient, residential, and integrated settings means she’s familiar with a wide range of life stressors. That background helps when a client is juggling work, school, relationships, and changing responsibilities in early adulthood.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Bridgett incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more workable patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming or impulsive. ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them, which can be useful for career decisions, relationship goals, and coping with life changes.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. Bridgett works collaboratively with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and what feels manageable. She discusses different techniques and adjusts the plan as progress and life circumstances change.
