About Gilbertte
Gilbertte Berthier is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with seven years of experience in mental health and school social work. She uses a person-first approach and creates a warm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through hard moments. Her style blends practical strategies with respect for each person’s values and background.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. Relationship and family concerns are a focus, including communication problems, commitment and codependency issues, and separation or divorce.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, adoption and foster care matters, attachment and fatherhood issues, and identity concerns for LGBT clients. Gilbertte draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness. She adapts techniques to the person in front of her instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions are shaped around clear goals and real-world steps to try between meetings. Her background includes work as a school social worker, which informs her practical, goal-oriented style. She combines evidence-based methods with attention to values and belief systems when that matters to the client.
Gilbertte keeps language plain and focuses on what will help people move forward. People who choose her can expect calm guidance, straightforward coping skills, and help building small habits that add up. She encourages realistic steps toward better routines and healthier relationships, while acknowledging the courage it takes to ask for help.
Online approaches that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on taking committed action toward what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offering reflection and support so people feel heard and can find their own solutions for relationship or identity concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping strategies for stress, anger, and attention challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and life context to decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat or text lets people check in between meetings, and messaging can support short updates or coaching-style prompts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
