About Bertha
Bertha uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people spot thinking patterns and daily habits that get in the way. She blends talk-based work with hands-on tools so clients can try new behaviors between meetings.
Her background includes eight years working in mental health in South Carolina. That experience has involved people facing caregiving burdens, workplace stress, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Bertha describes her approach as culturally responsive and focused on each person’s strengths.
Common methods she draws on include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, narrative techniques, and solution-focused planning. These tools are used to address things like communication problems, codependency, body image concerns, and addictions in practical ways.
Sessions aim to help clients build resilience and clearer thinking. Bertha helps people set small, achievable goals and track progress over time. People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist may find her approach useful.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to build trust and explore what matters most. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional overwhelm.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills. These practices can reduce reactivity, ease stress, and make it easier to handle strong emotions in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining techniques or shifting focus as needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and goals so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday life.
