About Bridget
Bridget Gottlieb is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, life transitions, and addiction. Bridget also supports concerns around intimacy, eating, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions focus on recognizing and naming difficult emotions, testing new ways of relating, and building practical skills to manage upsetting thoughts and behaviors. Bridget frames work in clear, concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
Bridget has long experience helping people through major life changes. She helps with loss, serious illness, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and the strains that come with divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, commitment struggles, and codependency patterns.
In session she talks through patterns that keep people stuck, points out unhelpful thinking habits, and practices new responses together. She uses behavioral techniques when they help, and attachment-focused work when relationships are central. Clients can expect practical strategies and attention to emotion and connection.
Bridget offers services in English and does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Bridget applies EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through hard-to-identify emotions and change interaction patterns that keep problems repeating. It is often used when relationship patterns or strong feelings are central to the issue.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choosing actions that match your values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and connection, which can help when trust or closeness are difficult.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bridget will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then recommend which methods fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make it easier to schedule around caregiving or work. Licensed professionals use the same therapy skills online as they do in person, focusing on emotion, behavior, and relationship patterns rather than the delivery method.
