Bridgett Sims, LPC

Bridgett Sims is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, grief, depression, and related issues listed in her profile. Sessions address practical problems like sleep, parenting strain, anger, and workplace stress.

Her background includes outpatient community mental health, inpatient care for teens, home-based children’s services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care combining physical and mental health. That variety gives her familiarity with complex situations and overlapping concerns.

Bridgett uses several evidence-informed approaches in session. She often leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for skills around emotion regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for clarifying values and taking workable steps.

Work is collaborative. Bridgett helps people set concrete goals and build skills they can use between sessions. She talks through coping strategies for anxiety, tools for managing cravings, ways to handle family-of-origin patterns, and methods for improving sleep and daily routines.

Her manner has been described as laid back in past notes, and she includes motivational interviewing techniques when people want to change behaviors. For someone juggling caregiving, chronic illness, parenting, or the fallout of past relationships, Bridgett focuses on practical steps and realistic expectations.
