Bridget Crochet, LCSW

Bridget Crochet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor in the State of Louisiana with 20 years of social work experience. She has worked across community and clinical settings, including several years in London where she served with borough agencies in 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 care at multiple levels including inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs.

During five years with Compass Health she served as Program Director for two large PHP/IOP outpatient programs, and she also has four years of experience with Assertive Community Treatment providing community-based mental health services for high-risk populations. Her clinical practice focuses on a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Her counseling style is warm, empathetic, and interactive. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Her clinical work blends cognitive behavioral techniques, goal-oriented planning, and client-centered principles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors while building practical coping strategies to address current life stressors. Bridget encourages anyone who is ready to seek a more fulfilling life to take that first step, and she offers support and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps individuals clarify what matters most to them and develop practical actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is goal-oriented and helps people build coping skills to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and situational stressors.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a collaborative relationship in which the therapist supports the client's own capacity for growth. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and working through transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Bridget works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and invites client feedback to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone allow for in-depth conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging can provide support between sessions or when scheduling is difficult. These options make it easier to receive consistent care while balancing work, family, or other responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to offer timely, accessible support.
