About Bridget
Bridget Stevens-Murphy is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a calm, grounded presence to therapy. Bridget focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also works with parenting and caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and codependency.
Bridget uses a person-centered, relational approach at the heart of her practice. She listens closely and builds a steady therapeutic relationship so clients can better understand their patterns. Bridget helps people name their needs, try new ways of communicating, and shift habits that no longer serve them.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work with a specialization in children and families from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has clinical experience in both domestic and international settings. Bridget draws on that breadth to respond to diverse life challenges and transitions.
In sessions she blends attachment-focused work with cognitive and emotion-oriented strategies. That means paying attention to relationship patterns, the thoughts that keep people stuck, and the feelings underneath those patterns. Bridget uses mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find meaning and steadiness amid change.
She aims to make therapy practical and approachable. Conversations, reflection, and small experiments between sessions are common. Bridget helps people build clearer boundaries, more satisfying relationships, and a stronger sense of self over time.
How Bridget’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and repair trust in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client’s own expertise. In video or phone conversations this looks like careful reflection, open questions, and pacing that follows the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with specific exercises. Online work commonly includes thought records, behavioral experiments, and short between-session tasks to try in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridget will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean weaving attachment insight with CBT tools and mindfulness practices rather than using a single method.
