About Bridgette
Bridgette Boucher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD. She conducts work in English and draws on long practice in clinical settings.
Her background includes study at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and the New York Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Institute. She is also a licensed clinical hypnotherapist. Over the years she has worked with adults facing major life changes and persistent stressful patterns.
Bridgette uses straightforward conversation and focused techniques to address specific problems. Sessions look at what is happening now and how past experiences influence present choices. She helps people build clearer communication, manage strong emotions, and reduce behaviors that cause harm.
When addiction or grief are central concerns, Bridgette combines practical coping strategies with attention to relationships that shape recovery and adaptation. For ADHD she focuses on strategies that improve organization, follow-through, and day-to-day functioning. For trauma and abuse she works at a pace each person can manage.
People who prefer clear, practical guidance tend to do well with her approach. She asks questions, sets collaborative goals, and adjusts plans as work progresses. To begin, clients follow the site's intake steps and schedule an initial session to see if the working style fits.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic techniques translate to online work
Bridgette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she applies emphasizes clear behavioral strategies - identifying specific actions to reduce harmful behaviors and build routines that support recovery and daily functioning. This helps with addictions and ADHD-related challenges by creating manageable steps and accountability.Another approach she uses centers on processing trauma in manageable segments. That involves pacing discussions about difficult memories, developing regulation skills, and strengthening safety in current relationships. For grief work she combines coping-focused techniques with attention to how loss affects relationships and daily life.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about priorities, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on how things are going. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and driven by client goals.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, and other obligations. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is limited, and sessions without video when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these options to help therapy fit into everyday life.
