About Bridget

Bridget Gottlieb is a licensed social worker with two decades of clinical experience. She uses a mix of person-centered care and practical, skills-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. Bridget brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on clear steps people can use between meetings.

Her background includes long-term work with people facing relationship struggles, chronic illness, career stress, and the emotional fallout from loss. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas to address patterns that hold people back. That combination helps clients notice unhelpful thinking and build new habits that fit their values.

Bridget aims to meet each person where they are and set realistic goals together. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered techniques when managing intense emotions or persistent worry. Therapy sessions include coaching on coping skills, communication, and practical problem solving.

Over 20 years she has helped people through parenting challenges, addiction concerns, body-image and eating issues, and career-related stress. Her approach emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. Bridget encourages regular check-ins so clients can track changes and adjust goals as needed.

Clients who choose her often want structured work alongside emotional support. She explains techniques in plain language and gives concrete exercises to practice between sessions. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward a life that matters to them, even when strong emotions show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust methods as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified here, so readers should confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using in-the-moment exercises during ordinary routines, such as practicing skills in a real-world setting and bringing those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
