About Bertha
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can include client-centered listening to make space for what matters most, cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change thinking patterns, and mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused work to clarify goals and identify next steps.
Bertha emphasizes collaboration. Sessions focus on real-life problems and tools you can try between meetings. She helps people sort through complicated emotions, set boundaries, and make choices that support their values and responsibilities.
With eight years of experience, she brings steady support for people managing addiction concerns, trauma and abuse recovery, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and career or identity shifts. She also addresses issues such as body image, attachment concerns, blended family stress, and aging-related matters.
Bertha practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability. The approach centers on practical steps, personal strengths, and a clear plan toward change.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what you say so you feel heard and clearer about your priorities. It helps people find their own direction when facing life transitions and relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase moment-to-moment awareness. These techniques often pair well with other approaches for grief, compassion fatigue, or anger.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that make sense for those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so care stays focused and relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the profile does not spell out formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not possible. It also supports continuing therapy through job changes, caregiving responsibilities, or relocation while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
