About Simone
Simone Blidgen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship problems, grief, trauma, and the ups and downs of parenting and career changes. Her style is warm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions.
Simone draws on a range of approaches to tailor care to each person.
How Simone works
She uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and reconnect with what matters to them. Sessions include clear goals, skills practice, and time to talk through recent struggles. With ten years of experience, Simone balances active skill teaching with a collaborative, listening-focused stance.
She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns and helps clients repair how they relate to others and themselves. Treatment plans are adjusted as needs change. People who come to Simone can expect straightforward feedback and practical tools for everyday life.
She works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and attachment-related concerns. Progress is tracked in small, measurable steps so people can see what’s changing. Simone offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit into a busy life.
She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is done after a short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that align with their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by building committed steps toward what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and improving daily coping by teaching practical skills and homework exercises.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current relationships and self-view. It helps people understand and shift patterns of connection, abandonment fears, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Simone will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. The first sessions usually involve clarifying priorities and trying a few strategies to see what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text allows ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules, and let therapists and clients focus on consistent progress rather than travel time.
