Bernina Alagic, LPC

Bernina Alagic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Bernina aims to meet people where they are and to offer a respectful, compassionate therapeutic space.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens to what matters most to each person and shapes conversations and goals accordingly. Sessions are geared toward concrete steps a client can use between meetings as well as ways to process difficult feelings in the moment.

Bernina uses several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-based ideas. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness strategies to help people notice patterns and try small changes that add up over time. This mix is chosen to match the issue and the client's preferences rather than follow a single script.

People who come to her often want help managing worry, improving how they relate to others, or coping with past hurts. She also works with concerns like chronic health stress, codependency, communication problems, and issues around commitment or abandonment.

Sessions are offered in English and Bosnian, and Bernina is open to working with international clients. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How approaches like ACT and CBT translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing small changes to shift those patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bernina will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Together they decide what techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, which helps people fit sessions into busy lives. It can allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break or keep momentum between in-person visits. Licensed professionals can use the methods above in virtual sessions to teach skills, review homework, and support changes between meetings.
