About Bridget
Bridget Murphy is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and relationship concerns. She also helps people dealing with addiction, ADHD, eating concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Bridget focuses on practical, moment-to-moment steps people can use when life becomes overwhelming. She listens for what matters most and then helps clients try small changes that can improve daily routines and emotional responses. Many clients bring questions about guilt and shame, and she addresses those feelings alongside other concerns like forgiveness and isolation.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She often uses Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and Internal Family Systems ideas to notice different parts of the self. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented rather than lecture-style.
Bridget commonly supports people through life transitions, including pregnancy, postpartum concerns, young adult challenges, divorce and separation, and changes in relationships. She also works on communication problems and men's and women's issues related to identity and functioning.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following what the client brings to the session. In practice this means sessions focus on the client’s priorities, emotions, and experiences rather than a fixed protocol. This approach can help people who need a calm space to talk through guilt, shame, or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and experimenting with different actions or reframes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress and pairs well with short-term skill-building online.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the view to small, achievable changes. Sessions set clear goals and track progress with practical steps. That approach works well when someone wants quick, concrete ways to reduce overwhelm and regain routine.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on needs, goals, and what feels manageable. That collaborative step helps shape session structure and pacing.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work through life transitions without pausing treatment.
