Online therapy and methods



Bridgette provides remote care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She frames online sessions as collaborative spaces where the person and therapist work together to identify patterns, practice new skills, and address current challenges. Communication options are chosen to fit the person’s needs and comfort for scheduling and contact.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In accessible terms, CBT helps break down problems into manageable steps, teaches tools to shift unhelpful thinking, and supports the development of practical coping techniques for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is employed as an approach for processing distressing memories and associated reactions. In combination with a strengths-based and authentic therapeutic style, these methods are offered in ways that invite collaboration on goals, pacing, and the choice of communication channels.
