About Simone
Simone Blidgen helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. She is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida. Her approach is steady and plainspoken so a worried parent can see what therapy looks like.
She focuses on practical steps alongside emotional understanding. Simone works with common problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. She also addresses bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and relationship struggles.
Background and approach
Parenting and career stress, grief, ADHD, and compassion fatigue are part of her caseload as well. In sessions she emphasizes clear goals and everyday tools. Conversations often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, building coping skills, and practicing new ways to communicate.
She aims to help people spot patterns, try small changes, and notice what helps in daily life. Her work draws from several evidence-based approaches that focus on values, behavior change, and emotional regulation. Simone spends time understanding each person's history with attachment and loss to tailor the work.
The goal is not quick fixes but steady progress and better self-awareness. Simone has about ten years of clinical experience. She uses that background to offer straightforward guidance and realistic plans.
If someone prefers to start with a short check-in or a longer session, she adapts to what the person needs.

Online support
How Simone’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that match those values. Online ACT sessions often include simple exercises to notice thoughts and practice value-based steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them. In remote sessions CBT can include tracking thoughts, practicing new skills, and reviewing homework together. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions, helping people try different ways of relating and communicating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Simone will collaborate with each person to find which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using ACT tools one week and CBT techniques the next, or weaving attachment-focused discussion into skills practice. The plan adapts over time based on what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility and simpler logistics. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the same therapeutic methods in place.
