How Bridget’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match your values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and for people struggling with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be practiced in session and between meetings to reduce intense reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridget will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts the focus so skills and insight match what is most helpful at the time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let clients practice new skills in everyday settings and bring real situations into discussion. Ask about available formats when you begin the matching process to make sure arrangements fit your routine and preferences.
