Bridgett Sims, LPC

Bridgett Sims is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who uses practical, goal-focused therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life transitions. She presents a calm, down-to-earth style and works with clients to set clear, achievable goals for change.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, like coping strategies, emotion regulation, and values-based choices. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Bridgett has 21 years of clinical experience across settings. She has worked in 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. That variety informs a practical, real-world approach.

People come to her for help with depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, sleep problems, ADHD, relationship struggles, and issues related to aging and geriatric concerns. She focuses on collaborating with each person to match goals and approaches to their situation.

Her sessions emphasize respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She encourages small, manageable steps toward change and offers support while clients practice new skills. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Bridgett’s approaches translate to online work

Bridgett uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting practical homework and practicing new coping skills between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for mood, anger, and relationship-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps that fit those values while learning to live with difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bridgett will work together with each person to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps match therapy tools to daily life and to the problems being addressed.

If you are thinking about online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that are shorter or more frequent when useful. It can also let people practice skills in their ordinary routines, then bring observations back to the next session for discussion and refinement.
