Bridget Crochet, LCSW

Bridget Crochet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor for the State of Louisiana with 18 years of social work experience. She brings a blend of community and clinical practice to her work, shaped by several years abroad and extensive leadership roles at home.

In 2008 she relocated to London, England for approximately five years and worked as an agency social worker across multiple London Borough services, including Leaving Care, Referral and Assessment, Foster Care, and Juvenile Services. After returning to Louisiana she joined a behavioral health company where she spent roughly 11 years providing care across levels such as inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. During five of those years at Compass Health she served as Program Director for two large PHP/IOP outpatient programs. She also has about four years of experience with Assertive Community Treatment, delivering community-based mental health services to high-risk populations.

Her counseling style is warm, empathetic, and interactive, and she emphasizes treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Her therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral techniques, goal-oriented planning, and client-centered methods. As an LCSW Bridget is trained to provide clinical mental health services, and as a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor she is authorized to oversee and mentor other clinicians. Bridget explains that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and building practical coping strategies to address current stressors.

She encourages those ready to pursue a more fulfilling life to take the first step toward change and offers support and empowerment throughout the process. She often echoes the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
