Bridgez English , LCMHC

Bridgez English is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work with clients across the lifespan. She has worked with people as young as seven through individuals in their seventies, offering support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, self-esteem, grief, and career-related stress.

Bridgez earned a Master of Education (M.Ed) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Utah and completed her bachelor of arts in Psychology with a minor in Sociology at Westminster College. Her training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - which she uses with clients facing traumatic memories and post-traumatic stress.

She practices from a collaborative, client-centered perspective that honors each person as the expert on their own life. Bridgez adapts therapeutic techniques to the individual, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness tools, solution-focused strategies, and EMDR when appropriate to address symptoms and build practical coping skills.

Bridgez welcomes clients who are exploring change, processing difficult experiences, or seeking support through life transitions, and she approaches each therapeutic relationship with warmth, respect, and a focus on hope. She often echoes the idea that taking the risk to change is an expression of belief in tomorrow.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Bridgez English

Bridgez works from a client-centered framework that positions the person as the primary expert on their own life. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and tailoring interventions to a client's unique values and goals, which can be especially useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers concrete tools for symptom reduction and problem solving that many clients find useful in day-to-day life.

For clients processing trauma, Bridgez is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - a method that supports reprocessing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. EMDR can be effective for post-traumatic stress and difficult past events when used alongside other therapeutic supports.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bridgez will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts treatment as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations.
