About Berthina
Berthina emphasizes helping people discover what works for them. Sessions often center on identifying small changes and coping skills that can make routines easier. She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to address unhelpful thoughts and to build steady habits.
Her background includes three years practicing as an LMHC in Florida and prior experience across different mental health settings. That blend gives her a practical sense of what helps people regain momentum after big changes or ongoing stressors. She brings a straightforward, hopeful perspective to difficult topics such as depression, addiction, or relationship breakdowns.
In sessions she uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help clarify goals and take tangible steps. People can expect short-term goal setting alongside work on longer standing patterns like codependency, caregiver stress, or body image concerns.
Berthina offers sessions in English and accepts international clients; scheduling and cost use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and goal setting
Berthina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood. CBT often involves setting small experiments and practicing new habits between sessions to build steady progress.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people slow down and attend to the present moment. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and create more space for conscious choices during stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. This may mean combining CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing techniques to support motivation and follow-through.
