Simone Blidgen, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Simone

Simone Blidgen is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She offers steady, straightforward support for those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life changes. Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at helping someone feel less overwhelmed day to day.

Simone draws on a mix of evidence-based methods to shape sessions around what a client needs. She uses simple tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional safety. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are brought in when people need concrete strategies for managing intense feelings.

Across all methods, she keeps conversations direct and focused on what will help in everyday life. Simone has practiced for 10 years as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - and keeps the work grounded in real problems and regular routines. Sessions can include talking through recent events, practicing new communication or coping steps, and setting small goals to track progress.

She provides services in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her work is based in Florida and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters most and wants steady progress rather than quick fixes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and sense of safety, and it helps clients rewrite those patterns through new, supportive ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Simone will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. The plan can change over time as progress and priorities evolve, and sessions focus on what helps in real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow for regular check-ins, timely skill practice, and easier scheduling around work and family life. Many people find it simpler to maintain momentum when therapy fits into their daily routine.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
