Gilbertte Berthier

Gilbertte Berthier is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida who draws on seven years of experience as a mental health therapist and a school social worker. She uses a warm, non-judgmental style and centers the person before the problem. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

She offers a calm space where people can speak openly and feel heard. Her approach blends evidence-based psychological methods with faith-informed perspectives when clients find that useful. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Gilbertte uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused work. She also integrates mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing strategies to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. These tools are applied to everyday problems like communication issues, family stress, and decisions around separation or divorce.

Her background includes work in schools, which shaped her skills in supporting people through life transitions and parenting-related stress. She helps people facing abandonment, adoption or foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, and caregiver strain. She also addresses body image, codependency, commitment worries, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.

Gilbertte works in Florida and conducts sessions in English. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and following the client's lead to build trust and self-direction, which can help people feel safer talking about relationships and identity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current needs. That means approaches may be combined or adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in this profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and letting people arrange meetings around work, school, or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone choose video or phone to match their comfort level and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques to work effectively in an online setting.
