About Bridget
Bridget Gottlieb is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, addictions, LGBT issues, and anger among other life challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage difficult feelings and respond differently to painful situations.
Bridget uses a mix of approaches - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods - to match what each person needs. She helps people notice patterns that keep problems going and learn small, usable skills to change them. That can mean new ways to handle workplace frustration, to reduce snapping at loved ones, or to soften long-held resentment.
Her work emphasizes clear goal-setting and steady skill practice. Conversations move between understanding what led to a problem and trying out different responses in daily life. Bridget also addresses practical stressors like caregiving demands, illness, or major life changes while attending to emotional reactions.
People meet to talk through thoughts, practice behavioral strategies, and build alternatives to old habits. Sessions include coaching on coping tools, communication tactics, and steps to manage intense emotions. The pace is collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change.
To get started, users follow the site process to match and schedule a first session. Bridget provides support for adults seeking clearer ways to handle anger, relationship strain, grief, and the pressures of life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce reactivity and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bridget will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as skills are practiced and new issues come up, and the therapist guides the process rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples into conversation, helping people translate therapy work into day-to-day situations.
