About Bridget

Bridget Kujansuu is a Michigan-licensed social worker (LMSW) with two decades of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the practical challenges of parenting and life transition.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns such as anger, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship difficulties, along with related issues like caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, financial stress, social anxiety, and workplace struggles. Her approach is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental, centered on respect and sensitivity.

Bridget views each client as the expert on their own life and aims to build on existing strengths to promote meaningful change. She emphasizes empowerment and practical support, helping clients take the courageous first steps toward new patterns of coping and improved wellbeing.

Clients can expect therapy that combines active collaboration with evidence-informed strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods, offered in a way that honors individual experiences. Services are provided in English and Bridget accepts international clients while practicing from Michigan.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Bridget draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize empathy and the client's own wisdom, creating space for people to explore values and build confidence. Solution-focused methods are used to set clear goals and identify small, actionable steps toward change, which can be especially helpful for people wanting targeted progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bridget works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and combines approaches in ways that fit each person’s situation. This collaborative stance helps tailor strategies so they feel useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and for fitting therapy into busy days. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when travel or time constraints arise, and they allow licensed professionals to support people across different locations while working from Michigan.
