About Simone
Simone Blidgen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. She focuses on clear, practical steps and aims to make therapy feel approachable and usable for day-to-day life. Simone listens for what matters most to each person and then works alongside them to sort through feelings and choices.
Sessions emphasize understanding patterns, improving communication, and building tools to manage hard moments. She often addresses grief, relationship struggles, parenting strains, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning and Attachment-Based approaches for relationship concerns. The mix is tailored to each person rather than one fixed method.
Simone has practiced for 10 years as an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker - in Florida. She has supported people through trauma, mood disorders, ADHD concerns, and identity-related struggles, always with attention to cultural context and individual strengths. Therapy sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging, with scheduling that follows the therapist's availability.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire so prospective clients can find a good fit and schedule a first session.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and what matters in life. It can be useful when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure about direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills for accepting difficult feelings while taking steps that match personal values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationship patterns formed earlier affect current connections and communication, which is helpful for relationship problems and feeling disconnected.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as you learn what helps. That collaborative process aims to match tools and conversation to your priorities rather than impose a single technique.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging brings practical benefits. Video lets you have a fuller conversation similar to an in-person visit. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, shorter reflections between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting, or caregiving responsibilities.
