Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Bridgett often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and useful for issues like anxiety, stress, and depression. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can help with intense emotions and relationship challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work with relationship and attachment concerns by exploring how early bonds shape current patterns and helping clients build more secure connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Bridgett works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to ensure it remains helpful and relevant.

Offering therapy online via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging increases flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These options allow clients to engage in consistent, ongoing work with a licensed professional in ways that fit their daily lives.
