About Bertha

Bertha Myers is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, and major life changes. She also supports clients dealing with grief, addictions, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem concerns, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar. Her work includes coaching around career concerns and parenting stress.

Bertha uses a straightforward, compassionate style. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She listens first, then helps people try techniques that fit their life and strengths.

Her background includes eight years of clinical experience as an LPC in South Carolina. That time has included work with people coping with trauma, abuse, and substance issues, along with longer-term concerns like attachment and abandonment. She draws on several therapy approaches to match the work to the person.

In sessions she may use mindfulness practices to calm intense feelings and cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help people reframe problems and set small, practical goals. The goal is clearer thinking and more effective day-to-day coping.

Bertha aims to create an affirming, culturally aware space where people can explore their experiences without judgment. She encourages collaboration so each person helps shape the path forward. To begin, people follow the site's process to connect and schedule an initial meeting.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Bertha commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding the person’s experience and building a trusting, respectful relationship to guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help manage strong emotions and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, anger, and compassion fatigue because it creates space to notice feelings before reacting.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins on a work break. It can also let people use techniques learned in session right away in daily routines. Licensed professionals, including Bertha, can adjust pacing and tools to match what works best for each person.
