Bridget Gottlieb, LMSW, LCSW

Bridget Gottlieb is a licensed social worker with twenty years of practice. She uses a practical, person-centered approach to help people untangle stressful thoughts and everyday habits. Bridget listens closely and works with each person to set clear, doable goals. Her work focuses on common life struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She also helps people facing relationship or intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addiction challenges, career stress, and chronic health issues. Thoughts and everyday habits are part of how she frames the work in sessions. Bridget draws on therapies that focus on thoughts, emotions, and relationships. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and build habits that match their values. Sessions emphasize manageable skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Clients can expect a supportive tone that still challenges patterns that hold them back. Bridget uses strategies from cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based work to change thinking and behavior. She also brings attachment-based and client-centered perspectives to relationship and family-related concerns. Bridget holds an LMSW, which is a Michigan Licensed Master Social Worker, and an LCSW, a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She practices from Michigan and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy process on the site to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How Bridget’s approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes where behavior and values matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and habits. CBT can help with stress, mood challenges, and managing everyday routines. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect emotional patterns and responding to intimacy or trust problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridget will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. She mixes techniques as needed and checks in regularly so the plan stays relevant. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what format is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods in remote sessions to teach skills, practice new responses, and track progress over time.
