Bridget Crochet , LCSW

Bridget Crochet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor in Louisiana with 20 years of social work experience. She draws on a wide range of clinical and community-based roles, including a five-year period in London where she worked with Leaving Care, Referral and Assessment, Foster Care, and Juvenile Services across several London Borough agencies.

After returning to Louisiana, she joined a behavioral health organization and spent about 11 years providing care at multiple levels, including inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. During five years with Compass Health she served as Program Director for two large PHP/IOP outpatient programs, and she also has four years of experience with Assertive Community Treatment, delivering community-based services to high-risk populations.

Her counseling style is warm, empathetic, and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Her clinical work combines cognitive behavioral strategies, goal-oriented planning, and client-centered principles to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop practical coping skills, and pursue meaningful goals. As an LCSW, she is qualified to provide clinical therapy, and as a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor she is authorized to supervise other social workers in Louisiana.

Bridget works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and related struggles. She invites clients who are ready to take steps toward change to seek support and work together toward greater well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Bridget commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to improve mood and day-to-day functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action, which can be useful for navigating trauma, chronic worries, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship where the client s experiences and goals guide the pace and focus of therapy.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Bridget works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives by making sessions accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to receive consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while balancing work, family, and other commitments, making it easier to maintain momentum in therapy.
