Bridget Crochet, LCSW

Bridget Crochet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of social work experience. She practices from Louisiana and draws on two decades of work across community and clinical settings. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to treat people with respect and compassion.

She has worked in a range of settings including inpatient care, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. Bridget also spent time working in London agencies on leaving care, assessment, foster care, and juvenile services, and later supported community-based mental health through Assertive Community Treatment. This variety gives her experience with different kinds of stress and crisis.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps set clear goals. Sessions focus on what will help a person manage day-to-day stress, improve mood, or cope with life changes.

Bridget uses practical methods that include cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, and client-centered conversations. That means she helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, connect with personal values, and work from where they are.

She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Bridget supports people sorting through difficult transitions and finding steady ways to cope.

Her approach is goal oriented and solution focused, while remaining grounded in empathy. She encourages small, doable changes and partners with people to build skills that fit their lives.

Practical approaches and online care options

Bridget commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to allow difficult feelings without getting stuck.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Bridget will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether cognitive strategies, acceptance-based work, or client-centered conversations will fit best, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing check-ins, goal reminders, and shorter conversations between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
