About Simone
Simone Blidgen is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship pain. She focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life and on helping people feel steadier when things become overwhelming. She emphasizes simple, clear goals in the work.
Sessions often include talking through immediate concerns, noticing bodily responses, and testing new ways of coping between meetings. Simone uses somatic ideas alongside cognitive and values-based methods to help people reconnect with what matters to them.
Background and approach
Her background includes ten years of clinical practice as a licensed clinical social worker, FL LCSW SW25338. That experience informs a style that is straightforward and attentive to each person’s context. She works to make therapy understandable and relevant to daily routines.
Simone often helps people facing grief, parenting stress, career transitions, ADHD challenges, compassion fatigue, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, body image, and feelings of emptiness. In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as practical tools.
Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns. People leave with small, doable steps to try between appointments. Therapy with Simone is offered in English and is available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Somatic, ACT, and Attachment Work Online
Somatic work invites attention to bodily signals and simple body-based practices to reduce tension and increase present-moment awareness. It can help when stress or trauma feel lodged in physical reactions rather than in words alone.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps when someone feels stuck by worry, depression, or meaning questions. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns and offer ways to try new interactions and repair connection in everyday life.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
