About Bridget
Bridget Kujansuu is a Michigan-based licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach
Bridget draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Solution-focused tools help set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions.
With 20 years of experience, Bridget has supported people through workplace stress, caregiver strain, relationship friction, financial worries, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful, not overwhelming. People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions.
Bridget encourages clients to name their goals and to move at a pace that feels manageable. The work often combines talking, practical skills practice, and short tasks to try between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name goals and build on strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, concrete goals and quick steps clients can try between sessions to see real progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try different tools and adjust the plan when something isn’t working to keep the process useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and text or chat can suit quick updates or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like CBT and solution-focused work in practical, everyday ways.
