About Simone
Simone Blidgen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship strain, and codependency concerns. Sessions are in English and she draws on several therapeutic approaches to support practical change.
She focuses on helping people understand how their patterns developed and what keeps them stuck. In sessions she talks through communication habits, boundary struggles, and the ways past attachment wounds affect current relationships. She also helps clients manage mood disorders such as bipolar and persistent depression through skills-based work.
Her methods include approaches that emphasize values, present-moment work, and skill building. Clients can expect straightforward techniques to notice thoughts and feelings, test unhelpful beliefs, and practice new ways of responding. The work often involves homework between sessions to try things in daily life.
Simone pays attention to how family histories, abandonment, and attachment issues influence behavior now. She also supports people coping with parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She will collaborate on goals and check progress along the way.
Her background in social work informs a practical style that mixes evidence-informed approaches. People coming for help with codependency, communication problems, or body image concerns will find direct discussion and concrete steps to practice outside sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and can help with avoidance, people-pleasing, and stuck patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, which can clarify why boundaries and closeness feel hard. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so a person can find their own answers and build self-trust.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Simone will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the focus as progress and challenges emerge, checking in about what helps and what does not.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone join from a quieter spot without needing extra commute. Therapists also use exercises, homework, and skill practice between sessions so changes carry into daily life.
