Approaches That Guide Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and cope with self-destructive urges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating formed in early relationships to help clients understand how attachment influences current intimacy, trust, and family dynamics, making it useful for relationship issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Bridgett Sims works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan together with the client to support progress and fit each person's life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so clients can choose what works with their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access licensed professionals from a distance, and incorporate therapy into busy or changing routines.
