About Simone
Simone Blidgen is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She focuses on clear, practical support so people can feel steadier in daily life and relationships. She works with adults facing life transitions, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and burnout.
Simone pays attention to how attachment and past losses affect current patterns. She also supports people managing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Her style is direct and collaborative. Simone uses talk, skill-building, and real-life practice so people can try new ways of coping between sessions. She draws on methods that help you notice thought patterns, accept difficult feelings, and make values-guided choices.
Simone has ten years of clinical experience and holds the Florida LCSW license FL LCSW SW25338. That background informs her practical focus on communication, boundaries, and improving self-understanding. Common issues she addresses include attachment wounds, codependency, communication problems, body image, and the stress of parenting or career changes.
She aims to make sessions useful and easy to apply to everyday moments. People who want straightforward skills, steady support, and help finding what matters often find her approach a good fit. Simone works in English and provides sessions online using multiple formats for flexibility.
Practical approaches adapted for online care
Simone often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values; this can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and how they shape current interactions, which is useful for communication problems, codependency, and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan over time. Work is collaborative and focused on practical steps someone can use between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video allows visual connection for relationship work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, or other obligations while using the approaches above in ways that suit each person.
