Bridgette McClure

Hi, I'm Bridgette, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience. Maybe you've been the strong one for everyone else for so long that you've lost track of what you need — showing up, holding it together, and quietly running on empty. On the outside you look fine; on the inside you feel anxious, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to shift. That's when a lot of my clients reach out.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD and complex trauma, grief and loss, anger, and substance use, along with the stress of major life transitions. I've supported people through some of the hardest circumstances imaginable — in child welfare and foster care, with veterans, and with justice-involved individuals — so very little rattles me, and nothing you bring will be met with judgment. Whatever you're carrying, there's room for it here.

Therapy with me is a place where you don't have to explain everything perfectly or find the "right words." We move at your pace and begin to make sense of what you've been carrying — and why it's been so hard to put down.

My work is evidence-based and trauma-informed. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to shift the thoughts that fuel anxiety and low mood, and on Schema Therapy and Psychodynamic work to understand the deeper patterns that keep you stuck. I use Behavior Modification and Problem-Solving Therapy to build practical tools, Motivational Interviewing when you're weighing change, and a Strength-Based lens that keeps sight of what's already working. Throughout, we focus on emotional awareness and nervous-system regulation.

My style is collaborative, steady, and real — someone who helps you feel understood and genuinely supported in making change.

Over time, the people I work with feel less at the mercy of their anxiety and more like themselves again. Sleep gets easier, the 3am spiral loosens its grip, and you get better at naming what you feel and setting boundaries without the guilt that used to follow. Instead of white-knuckling through the week, you build real tools to steady your nervous system, interrupt old patterns, and respond to hard moments with more choice.

You can expect me to show up consistently, be honest with you, and keep our work focused on what matters to you. Nothing is forced, and you always set the direction. You don't have to have it all figured out to begin — you just have to be willing to take the first step, and I'll be right there with you.
