About Bridgett

Bridgett Sims is an Oklahoma-licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

Her approach is grounded in practical, evidence-informed therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and she emphasizes collaboration to help clients define and reach their goals. Sims brings a calm, respectful manner to sessions and focuses on empowering people to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Her work has covered a wide range of settings including outpatient community mental health, inpatient adolescent care, home-based children’s services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care that addresses both physical and mental health.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting challenges, ADHD, and other life transitions. Sims also attends to concerns like caregiving stress, chronic illness, attachment and adoption issues, and body image as part of comprehensive treatment.

Sessions are delivered with sensitivity and an emphasis on practical skills and personal values. Clients can expect a laid-back, respectful clinician who uses collaborative goal-setting and therapeutic tools to help navigate coping, recovery, and everyday challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Bridgett uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense emotions and relationship conflicts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements these methods by focusing on values and committed action to promote meaningful change when coping with chronic stress or life transitions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to tailor techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance means clients can explore which strategies feel most helpful and adjust course as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals without geographic constraints, allowing continuity of care during busy or changing life circumstances.
