How her approaches translate to online care

Bridget commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client says matters. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces simple experiments and practice to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bridget will work with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation usually includes checking what has helped in the past and trying small changes to see what feels useful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on immediate problems or skills practice. Some formats also suit quieter, shorter appointments while others allow deeper conversations. Talk with Bridget about your schedule and goals to determine what will work best.
