About Bridgette

Background and approach
Bridgette pays attention to the impact of relationship strain, communication problems, loneliness, and social anxiety. Her background includes study at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and the New York Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy Institute. She is also a licensed clinical hypnotherapist and holds a New York LCSW credential.
Bridgette uses those experiences to shape practical, personalized plans rather than follow a one-size-fits-all script. In sessions she focuses on respectful, clear conversation. She aims to tailor discussions and plans to each person’s needs.
Expect straightforward talk about what’s happening now and realistic steps to try between meetings. Bridgette frames therapy as a collaborative process. She supports people as they try changes, notice what helps, and adjust as needed.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady, compassionate guidance through that beginning.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Bridgette draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work in clear, practical ways. One approach emphasizes understanding how past trauma affects current reactions; sessions look at patterns, safety, and small steps to reduce distress. Another approach focuses on behavioral strategies for addictions and attention challenges, using concrete routines and short experiments to test what helps day to day. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most useful. Bridgette frames treatment as a partnership where methods are chosen to match needs and preferences. Online formats offer several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues for longer sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching possible between longer meetings. Together these options make it easier to find a rhythm that supports steady progress.Frequently asked questions
