About Simone

Simone Blidgen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. Simone helps clients who are navigating life changes, parenting pressures, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions focus on building practical skills for coping, improving communication, and recognizing patterns that cause pain. Simone draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance strategies to reduce distress and increase options for action.

Attachment-based ideas and client-centered ways of working shape how she talks about relationships and early wounds. That can look like mapping family patterns, naming attachment reactions, and trying small experiments to change how people relate to others. Dialectical behavior ideas are used for managing strong emotions and increasing distress tolerance when needed.

Simone pays attention to everyday pressures like work, money, health, and community demands. She aims to help clients translate therapy into concrete changes at home and at work. Practical tools and clear steps are part of the plan rather than abstract talk.

People can expect a collaborative style where goals are set together and adjusted as needed. Simone asks questions, listens for patterns, and offers exercises that clients can use between sessions. She practices in Florida as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English.

BHow sessions work

How Simone integrates evidence-based approaches into remote care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values. It helps people make choices that match what matters to them, even when uncomfortable feelings remain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps people test unhelpful beliefs and try different actions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns that formed early on. It helps people identify recurring dynamics and practice new ways of relating to others.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Simone collaborates with each person to identify what fits their goals and life situation. She listens to current struggles, suggests methods to try, and adjusts plans based on what is useful for the client.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Practically speaking, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or medical appointments. Some formats require less bandwidth or are shorter check-ins, which can help on busy days. Simone aims to translate therapy into everyday routines and skills that people can use between appointments.
