I am licensed in Oklahoma with 20 years of professional work experience including helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma, coping with addictions, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I have worked in outpatient community mental health, inpatient care for teens, home based children's services, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation and most recently integrated care which involves both physical and mental health. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My style tends to be laid back and I lean towards using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as I see these approaches as empowering you. Our work together will include collaborating to identify your goals to meet your unique and specific needs, however that looks for you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I look forward to being here to support & empower you in that journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bridgett Sims. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Bridgett is very respectful. She listens and provides perspectives that I would have never thought of on my own and maintains the overall idea of solving the initial problems I have. She checks in on me and allows me to vent about what I think could be the smallest thing but understands why it still bothers me at the end of the day. I appreciate her very much.
