About Simone

Simone Blidgen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports those managing grief, bipolar disorder, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her manner is straightforward and compassionate, focused on practical steps clients can use between sessions.

Simone uses several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to look at how relationships and life stories shape feelings and choices.

Simone aims to help people build clearer values, better communication, and more effective coping skills. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, practicing new ways of responding, and developing action plans for real-life situations. She emphasizes small, repeatable changes that add up over time.

With ten years of clinical experience, Simone brings practical skills and steady support. Her work centers on helping clients move through transitions, heal from past wounds, and find better ways to manage intense emotions.

How Simone Uses Therapy Methods Online

Simone commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when difficult feelings appear. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and behavior, which can help with trust, communication, and feeling more connected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help decide which techniques fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts exercises and conversations so they feel practical and manageable for everyday life.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on days when time is limited, and reduce travel time for appointments. Simone uses evidence-based exercises, values-driven planning, and skills practice that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients apply what they learn between meetings.
