Bridget Crochet , LCSW

Bridget Crochet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 20 years of clinical and leadership experience. She has worked across a range of settings and levels of care, bringing a breadth of hands-on experience to her therapeutic work.

She spent roughly five years working in London borough agencies following a move in 2008, supporting programs such as Leaving Care, Referral and Assessment, Foster Care, and Juvenile Services. After returning to Louisiana, she joined a behavioral health organization and spent about 11 years providing services across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. During that time she also served as Program Director for two large PHP/IOP outpatient programs while employed at Compass Health.

In addition to outpatient leadership, Bridget has four years of experience with Assertive Community Treatment, delivering community-based mental health services to high-risk populations. Her counseling style is warm, empathetic, and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

Bridget integrates cognitive-behavioral, goal-oriented, and client-centered approaches to help individuals address stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and family challenges, addictions, parenting concerns, grief, and other life transitions. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential that indicates advanced clinical training in social work and psychotherapy. She supports clients who are ready to take steps toward meaningful change and growth, offering guidance and empowerment throughout the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where the goal is to build resilience and purposeful action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist supports the client's own insights and goals. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship and family concerns, grief, and rebuilding a sense of self.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bridget works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
