About Bridgette

Dr. Bridgette Montgomery is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She focuses on practical support and steady guidance so clients can find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Her approach is calm and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals. Sessions emphasize understanding what is happening now, learning tools to reduce symptoms, and building routines that feel doable in daily life.

Background and approach

Dr. Montgomery uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She draws from client-centered work to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities.

Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors. She also integrates mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas when helpful. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is part of her toolbox for trauma-related concerns and post-traumatic stress.

She also brings experience with obsessive-compulsive patterns, eating and food-related issues, gender dysphoria, and process or sex-related addictions. People describe her style as open and nonjudgmental, and she aims to create a space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. Her practice is based in Pennsylvania and she provides services in English.

Sessions are offered through a range of online formats to fit different schedules.

Online support

How EMDR and Talk-Based Approaches Work Online

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. In an online session this involves guided attention and structured steps to revisit troubling experiences while developing newer, calmer responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors; online CBT sessions often include practicing skills, keeping simple homework, and trying changes between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, then suggest options and try different methods collaboratively. Sessions can mix EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered work so the plan fits what the person needs in practice.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in quickly, share short updates, or have brief follow-ups between video or phone appointments. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and keep work moving forward without lengthy travel.
