About Bridgez

Bridgez English is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who centers therapy on the person's own experience. She believes clients know their lives best and works alongside them to find practical ways forward. Her approach adapts to each person and focuses on clear goals and steady progress.

Bridgez has seven years of clinical experience and earned a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Utah.

Background and approach

She also completed undergraduate study in psychology with a sociology minor at Westminster College. Her training includes EMDR, which she uses when trauma work is needed. In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and stay grounded during hard moments. Solution-focused tools help keep work practical and goal-oriented. Common concerns Bridgez addresses include anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, anger, and coping with life changes.

She also focuses on panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, women’s issues, young adult concerns, LGBT matters, intimacy-related issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Bridgez offers straightforward, respectful care in English, and she accepts international clients. Her style is collaborative and adaptable, aiming to match methods to each person’s needs rather than applying a single formula.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practices small changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used when trauma memories are getting in the way; it combines focused memory work with guided attention to lessen distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bridgez will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. These options make it easier to attend from home, during work breaks, or while traveling. The variety of formats also lets people try different ways of working to find what feels most helpful.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
