Simone Blidgen

Simone Blidgen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing life shifts, anxiety, depression, and stress. She works with individuals who feel stuck by grief, low self-worth, or burnout and offers straightforward support to find clearer next steps.

Simone focuses on building practical skills and stronger self-understanding. Sessions often involve talking through recent events and patterns that keep problems stuck. She uses tools that help people manage intense feelings, improve communication, and set boundaries in daily life.

With ten years of experience, Simone draws on several evidence-based methods to match the work to each person. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful, not full of jargon. The goal is to leave with concrete ways to handle worries and life transitions.

Her practice pays attention to culture and individual background while keeping conversations grounded and goal-focused. Simone emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist work together to identify what matters most and try approaches that fit real life.

People come to Simone when coping with relationship strain, career stress, parenting pressures, ADHD challenges, compassion fatigue, or major life changes. She supports exploration of attachment patterns, abandonment issues, body image concerns, and recovery after domestic violence or separation. The work is paced around each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and clarify what matters most. It can be useful for life transitions, anxiety, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can help when relationship or trust issues feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone collaborates with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and daily life. She will adjust methods based on what a client needs and how they respond, making changes as therapy progresses.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so more energy goes into the work itself. Licensed professionals often use video or phone to maintain continuity of care and make therapy more accessible, but check the booking details to know which formats Simone currently provides.
