Bridget Gottlieb, LMSW, LCSW

Bridget Gottlieb, LMSW, LCSW, focuses on helping people navigate hard life changes. She uses straightforward talk, practical tools, and steady support to help when stress, anxiety, grief, or chronic illness feel overwhelming. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping someone feel understood and move forward.

She brings 20 years of experience in counseling people facing transitions and emotional pain. Over that time she has worked with folks dealing with depression, relationship struggles, addictions, caregiving strain, and illness-related challenges. She combines several approaches to match what a person needs in the moment.

In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to change thinking patterns and on acceptance-based ideas to tolerate difficult feelings without getting stuck. Attachment-informed work is used when relationship patterns and closeness issues matter.

Bridget meets clients where they are and helps set clear, reachable goals. She offers strategies for managing panic, grief, anger, or low mood, and helps people build routines that support daily life. Her work includes focus on body image, eating concerns, intimacy, and parenting stress when those topics come up.

She is licensed in Michigan as an LMSW and LCSW and works in English. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How Bridget’s approaches translate to online work

Bridget uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit everyday life. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose meaningful actions even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for managing chronic illness, caregiving stress, or grief. CBT focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thinking and learning concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and work or relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and practical needs, then try methods that match those priorities. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so the plan can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is offering therapy. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, limit travel, or have shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care while managing health issues or caregiving duties. The focus is on practical benefits that help therapy fit into daily life rather than on any single delivery method.
