About Bridget
Bridget Crochet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of clinical experience. She practices from Louisiana and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Her manner is warm and interactive, aimed at helping people take small steps toward change.
She spent part of her career working in London borough agencies in services like foster care and juvenile services. After returning to Louisiana she worked across levels of care in behavioral health, including inpatient and outpatient settings. She also has experience leading partial hospital and intensive outpatient programs and working with community-based mental health teams.
Her approach blends several methods to match what a person needs. She uses motivational interviewing to help spark motivation for change, cognitive behavioral strategies to address thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered listening to keep the person's goals in focus. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in when helpful.
Sessions are conducted with respect and without stigmatizing labels. Bridget aims to help people develop practical coping tools for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, substance use, parenting strain, and related issues. She emphasizes small, achievable goals and steady progress.
If someone is ready to begin, Bridget guides them through an easy matching process and scheduling. The focus is on realistic steps people can use between sessions to feel more in control and move toward what matters to them.

How these approaches work well online
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build their own motivation. It uses open conversation and reflective questions to move someone toward manageable next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to build skills that work between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act in ways that match their values.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then try strategies that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time to find what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day and reduce travel time. It also allows sessions that focus on brief skills practice, talk-based problem solving, or stepwise behavior experiments that a person can try between meetings. -
