About Bertha
Bertha Taillefer is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, anger, and ADHD. Her style is straightforward and respectful.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy. She keeps conversations focused on what matters to each person. Sessions are shaped around the client's needs and goals rather than a fixed formula.
Background and approach
Bertha emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while offering clear guidance and tools to cope with day-to-day challenges. Bertha tailors a treatment plan to each client's situation. That can mean talking through ways to reduce stress, managing angry reactions, or organizing routines for ADHD.
She also helps families navigate conflict and supports people processing loss. Her approach is practical and collaborative. She listens, suggests concrete steps, and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Parents and family members looking for steady, experienced support often find this helpful. Bertha works in English and accepts international clients. She draws on two decades of practice in New York to offer care that is both experienced and down-to-earth.
Practical therapeutic approaches and online care
Bertha uses evidence-based techniques that focus on real-world change and clearer daily functioning. One approach she uses involves skills training for managing stress and anger - learning short strategies to reduce reactivity and build calmer routines that fit daily life. Another approach emphasizes organizing and routine strategies for ADHD - creating simple systems to improve focus, follow-through, and time management.Finding the right approach is part of working together. She will help clients choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made or circumstances change.
Online therapy in her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to stay connected when in-person visits are difficult. The variety of formats lets clients pick what feels most comfortable for talking through family issues, managing stress, or working on daily routines.
