About Bertha
Bertha Myers is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with a wide range of life stresses. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, or big life changes. Her approach is warm and practical, aiming to make therapy feel manageable for a busy family life.
In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set simple, realistic goals. Bertha uses clear tools to reduce anxiety and improve communication.
Background and approach
She explains ideas plainly and checks in often so progress is steady and understandable. Bertha blends several evidence-based methods into a tailored plan. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s lead, and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Mindfulness strategies are included to calm the body and focus attention in stressful moments. She has eight years of experience as an LPC and practices in South Carolina. Bertha supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction, trauma, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and a range of other life issues.
She also addresses topics like caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and communication problems. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online by following the site's start process. Bertha aims to meet clients where they are and to work alongside them on practical steps that fit family routines and daily life.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about what to tackle first, which is useful when balancing family responsibilities and limited time.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into clear steps. It offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns that affect parenting and relationships.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress in the moment. These tools can be used between sessions to handle parenting demands or emotional spikes.
Finding the right approach is a collaboration. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what works best. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and how to fit them into daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions can work during short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for quick check-ins or when time is tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling family and work.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
