Gilbertte Berthier, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Gilbertte

Gilbertte Berthier is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She has seven years of experience as a mental health therapist and school social worker. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly and feel heard.

Her style is grounded and straightforward, aimed at helping parents and family members find practical ways forward. Berthier often combines evidence-based approaches with attention to clients' values and beliefs.

Background and approach

She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. This mix is used to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, anger, low self-esteem, and identity concerns including LGBT matters.

In session she focuses on clear steps and realistic goals. Conversations can include learning new ways to handle strong emotions, improving communication, or building routines that reduce daily stress. She also works with family issues like divorce, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment matters, and fatherhood topics.

Gilbertte respects each person's background and adapts the pace to fit the family or individual. Sessions are collaborative - the client and therapist decide on what to try next. Practical tools, breathing and mindfulness exercises, and attention to values often show up in her work.

She provides services in English and practices in Florida. Therapy can be offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's Start Therapy steps to match and schedule time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive every choice. It emphasizes values and small committed actions that add meaning, which can help with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and building coping strategies. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps partners and family members understand emotional patterns and strengthen connections, which can improve communication and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different tools, and adjust methods based on what helps. Sessions are collaborative, and treatment plans are shaped by each family's needs and values rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online sessions add convenience for busy families. Gilbertte offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and access support without extra travel or logistics.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
