TSQL syntax to get total for documents type in a open text field

I have this tally I need to build, but I don't have a set field.  In the data below anything that is in [brackets] is considered a document type.  I need to be able to get a total for all document type processed.  

Is there an sql syntax I could use to get this total?  The problem is that there may more document types than depicted here...

results expected would be:
[BATCH COVER SHEET] = 1
[TRANSFER FORMS] = 10
ETC...
DESC

something like this should do it...

SELECT        SUBSTRING([desc], CHARINDEX('[', [desc]) + 1, CHARINDEX(']', [desc]) - CHARINDEX('[', [desc]) - 1) AS DocType, COUNT(SUBSTRING([desc], CHARINDEX('[', [desc]) + 1, CHARINDEX(']', [desc]) - CHARINDEX('[', [desc]) - 1)) AS Total

FROM            [YourTable]

GROUP BY SUBSTRING([desc], CHARINDEX('[', [desc]) + 1, CHARINDEX(']', [desc]) - CHARINDEX('[', [desc]) - 1)
