About Bridgett
Bridgett Sims is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. Bridgett also helps people dealing with sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and codependency.
Her background spans community mental health, inpatient teen care, home-based children's services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care that combines physical and mental health. That variety shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on clear goals rather than abstract ideas.
Bridgett commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas. In concrete terms she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practice new behaviors, and build skills for handling strong emotions.
Work in sessions is collaborative. The therapist and client set specific aims, break them into manageable steps, and track progress. Bridgett describes her approach as relaxed and straightforward, with emphasis on skills people can use outside sessions.
People who keep putting others first or who live with someone’s substance use, moods, or crises may find the practical focus useful. Bridgett helps with boundary setting, coping strategies, and reducing day-to-day overwhelm. To begin, readers are asked to use the service matching process to schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How Bridgett uses ACT, CBT, and DBT online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It works well for anxiety, stress, and situations where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and changing repetitive patterns like people-pleasing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for tolerating strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Bridgett will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and they will decide collaboratively which methods to try first. That choice can change over time based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They also let people practice skills in real settings and then bring observations back into a session for problem-solving and adjustment.
