About Bridgette
Bridgette Boucher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing addiction, trauma, grief, relationship stress, and ADHD. Her style is calm and respectful, with an emphasis on listening first and tailoring help to each person.
Over a long career Bridgette has worked with people through major life transitions and painful losses. She uses a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations and plans to what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be straightforward and useful, not full of jargon. Bridgette aims to create a sensitive space where people can name what they are struggling with and try different ways to cope. She pays attention to communication patterns, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation that often make problems harder to solve.
Her approach balances emotional support with practical strategies. When addiction, trauma, or grief are part of the story, Bridgette works step by step so people feel more steady and able to make decisions. For those managing ADHD, she helps identify habits and structures that can reduce daily friction.
She encourages people to move at their own pace and to shape the work together. Bridgette helps set small, achievable goals and adjusts plans as needs change. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Bridgette uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills and routines to reduce daily stress and improve functioning; this helps with addictions and the organizational challenges often linked to ADHD. Another approach centers on processing trauma and grief through paced conversations that help people name and move through painful memories without becoming overwhelmed.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridgette collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts methods as needs shift so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video lets people hold longer, face-to-face conversations; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins; chat and messaging support shorter, regular touchpoints and ongoing processing between sessions. These options aim to fit therapy into busy lives and differing schedules.
