Bridgez English, LCMHC

Bridgez English is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. She brings seven years of practice helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life transitions. Her approach centers on partnering with each person to find practical ways forward.

Bridgez uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and develop clearer coping skills. She also draws on client-centered work to make sessions collaborative and respectful of each person’s pace. When past trauma is central, she offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, known as EMDR, as one option.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. Bridgez listens first, then helps set small, achievable steps for change. She often combines skill-building with mindful practices to reduce immediate distress and build long-term resilience.

Her background includes a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Utah and a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a sociology minor from Westminster College. Bridgez has worked with a wide range of concerns including panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, women’s issues, and young adult challenges.

People who come to her for support can expect a calm, practical style that adapts to their needs. She emphasizes collaboration and helps clients test realistic strategies between sessions. Bridgez welcomes people who are ready to try new ways of coping and move toward hope.

How CBT, EMDR, and Client-Centered Work Translate Online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or low mood and then learn practical skills to change those patterns. Online sessions can include worksheets, in-session skill practice, and homework assignments that fit into daily life.

EMDR is an approach used when traumatic memories cause ongoing distress; it involves processing those memories in a paced way to reduce their emotional intensity. In remote sessions, EMDR protocols can be adapted with guided bilateral stimulation and careful preparation to ensure the work proceeds at a safe pace.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and honoring each person’s pace and goals. Online formats support this by allowing steady, regular check-ins and by letting the therapist adjust the pace based on how the client reports feeling.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridgez will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will choose one or more methods that fit. The plan can change over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth skill work and EMDR-style sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text works well for brief check-ins or reflection between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
