About Bridget

Bridget Crochet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with two decades of experience in social work and behavioral health.

Background and approach

She has worked across a range of care settings including inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and community-based services, and has held leadership roles overseeing program operations. Her background also includes agency social work in London, England, where she supported services such as leaving care, referral and assessment, foster care, and juvenile services.

Her therapeutic stance is warm, empathetic, and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion without relying on stigmatizing labels. She blends cognitive behavioral methods with goal-oriented and client-centered techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build coping strategies, and address current stressors.

Bridget aims to support clients through life transitions, trauma, mood concerns, relationship challenges, and a range of stress-related issues. She invites clients ready to pursue change to engage collaboratively in treatment and offers guidance rooted in practical skills and compassionate listening.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Practical Support

Bridget draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete behavioral strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. This approach emphasizes practical skills and exercises that can be practiced between sessions to improve emotional regulation.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to encourage values-driven action and present-moment awareness, helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful steps forward. Client-centered methods are woven into her practice as well, creating a collaborative, empathetic environment where the client's priorities guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor interventions so they feel relevant and achievable for each person.

Online therapy with Bridget is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from home or other convenient locations.
