Background and approach

Her style is relaxed and down-to-earth, and she emphasizes compassion and respect. Bridgett has practiced in many settings, including outpatient community mental health, inpatient teen care, home-based services for children, residential substance use treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated care that blends physical and mental health. That range shapes how she supports people through complex situations like grief, trauma, or co-occurring health concerns.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage emotions and behaviors. She also uses motivational techniques to encourage change and supports attachment-related concerns through relationship-focused work. These tools are applied to problems such as sleep trouble, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, and career strain.

Bridgett aims to empower people as they work toward a more satisfying life. She helps clients break concerns into small, doable steps and builds practical skills to manage day-to-day struggles.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Bridgett frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal functioning, which can help with strong emotions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bridgett will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then pick or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coping reminders, or stepping through skills between sessions. These options help make therapy fit into busy days and varied schedules.
