About Bridget
Bridget Gottlieb is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than medical labels.
Bridget uses approaches that help people notice what matters and practice new behaviors. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, and a client-centered style. That mix is aimed at helping someone change painful habits, manage intense feelings, and improve communication.
In appointments she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she suggests small experiments and skills to interrupt those patterns. Work might include spotting unhelpful thoughts, trying different ways to respond to conflict, or practicing distress-tolerance skills for overwhelming moments.
Many people come for help after a big life change such as loss, a new baby, a breakup, or a health issue. Bridget supports practical planning around those changes and helps people manage grief, caregiving strain, or shifts in family roles. She also addresses concerns around body image, eating, addiction, and work-related stress.
Her style is straightforward and focused on progress. People can expect clear goals, skill-building, and regular check-ins on what is working. If you want to explore how to handle a difficult relationship or the stress of parenting, she offers a practical, skills-based approach to move forward.
How sessions work
How Bridget uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting painful thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where old coping strategies no longer work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep returning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridget will collaborate with the client to choose which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean combining ACT, CBT, or attachment ideas and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. In sessions clients practice skills, review experiments, and set small, practical steps to try between meetings so therapy fits into everyday life rather than adding extra tasks.
