More about Bridgette
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a Texas and New Mexico mental health therapist I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, and self-confidence challenges. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, military service members, veterans, law enforcement professionals, and first responders, recognizing the unique experiences and stressors these populations face.
As a military veteran, I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to my work. Using evidence-based approaches including EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful change.
My approach is warm, authentic, and strengths-based, incorporating humor when appropriate to create a comfortable and supportive therapeutic environment where healing and growth can thrive.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
