About Bridgett
Bridgett Sims is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with more than two decades of experience. She keeps sessions calm and straightforward, helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, and major life changes. Her approach is collaborative and practical, focused on the next steps a person can take.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationships shape current patterns. Bridgett combines that perspective with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build new skills.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and a client-centered stance when those fit better. Bridgett has worked across many settings, including outpatient community mental health, inpatient teen care, home-based children’s services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care that addresses both physical and mental health. That variety informs her practical, down-to-earth style and her comfort with complex, overlapping issues.
She helps people facing trauma and abuse, relationship and attachment struggles, parenting and blended family challenges, ADHD, bipolar concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career or life-transition worries. Sessions focus on clear goals and teach skills for coping, emotional regulation, and communication. Bridgett aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
She works with clients to identify goals and create steps they can actually use between sessions. Her style is supportive, steady, and aimed at real progress.

Online support
Using attachment and skills work in online therapy
Attachment-based ideas look at how earlier relationships shape how people connect and respond today. In online sessions Bridgett helps clients notice patterns that come from attachment history and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Both approaches are practical and can be used in short exercises during remote sessions to build new habits and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works collaboratively to pick methods that match your goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts tools over time as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
