Bridget Gottlieb

Bridget Gottlieb is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people during difficult transitions. She holds a Master of Social Work and is credentialed as an LMSW in Michigan and an LCSW in Florida. Her style is direct and humane, focused on helping clients name what feels hard and find manageable steps forward.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening to help with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Sessions emphasize small changes that ease daily life and reduce overwhelm. Bridget has two decades of experience and she brings that perspective without jargon.

Typical work includes sorting through grief and loss, handling workplace or financial stress, navigating parenting challenges, and adjusting to chronic illness or major life changes. She also supports people facing anger, addiction, intimacy concerns, self-esteem problems, and identity-related questions. Her approach blends practical skills with attention to feelings and personal values.

In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thinking, practice new coping tools, and set goals that fit real life. She uses strengths people already have and builds new strategies where needed. Expect calm, steady guidance and concrete steps to try between meetings.

Bridget asks clients to set the pace and clarifies progress along the way. She works to create a collaborative space where people can talk through tough moments and try different ways to cope. If you want help handling a transition or persistent stress, she aims to make the process straightforward and useful.

Therapeutic approaches and what they offer online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting the focus from avoiding feelings to living a meaningful life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often helps with worry, low mood, anger, and habits that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce the time needed for travel and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking to learn how meetings are scheduled and delivered. The focus is on usable tools and steady support that fit everyday routines rather than on any one format.
