Bridget Crochet, LCSW - Therapist in Louisiana

About Bridget

Bridget Crochet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience in clinical social work. She practices in Louisiana and brings practical, straightforward support to people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Her manner is warm and empathetic, and she focuses on helping clients find workable steps forward.

Bridget trained and worked in a variety of settings. She spent time in London with local borough agencies supporting young people in foster care and juvenile services.

Background and approach

After returning to Louisiana she worked across levels of care including inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. She has led outpatient programs and spent several years with Assertive Community Treatment teams, providing community-based services for people with serious mental health needs. That mix of team and leadership roles gives her a practical view of treatment and recovery.

Her day-to-day approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered listening. She uses CBT to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and to build coping skills. ACT and mindfulness help clients clarify values and stay present when emotions feel overwhelming.

Sessions tend to be interactive and goal-focused. Bridget works with each person to set clear, realistic steps and to adjust the pace as needed. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It often fits situations where stress, anxiety, or chronic emotions interfere with daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping. CBT is useful for worry, depression, and specific stressors that respond to practical skill-building.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Bridget collaborates with each person to match approaches to their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for convenience and flexibility. These formats let people fit therapy into busy days, follow up between sessions, and use the method that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver structured CBT exercises, ACT values work, and client-centered conversations without requiring travel.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
