About Bertha
Bertha uses a collaborative style that centers each person's goals and lived experience. Sessions focus on clear steps and tools, like examining patterns that keep problems going and building new routines that reduce distress. She pays attention to how loss and end-of-life questions affect emotions and daily functioning, and she supports people through those conversations with steady presence.
Her work blends several evidence-informed approaches. Clients can expect elements of client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral skills for changing thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness practices to manage strong feelings, and narrative techniques that help rewrite personal stories. Solution-focused methods are used to set small, achievable goals between sessions.
Bertha has eight years of clinical experience and practices in South Carolina. She emphasizes clear, practical strategies alongside compassion and respect for each person's background. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to immediate needs and longer-term growth.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Her approach is aimed at helping clients find workable changes that fit daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel understood and shapes sessions around their priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it’s useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions, which can help with grief and compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust them over time. Goals, comfort with techniques, and daily routines guide which strategies are emphasized, and the plan changes as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking to know what online options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow timely check-ins after difficult events. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion and fine-tuning.
