With a focus on practical support and empathic listening, Bertha collaborates with each person to address immediate concerns and to develop strategies for moving forward.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Bertha draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when working with clients online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and active listening to help people explore their feelings and build self-understanding - it can be useful for clients who need a supportive space to process emotions and life decisions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and helps partners or individuals recognize and change interaction cycles that contribute to distress. These approaches can be used alone or in combination depending on presenting concerns and treatment goals. Finding the right method is part of the collaborative process; Bertha, as a licensed professional, works with each person to determine which strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions make these therapeutic options more accessible through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility allows clients to choose formats that fit their schedules and communication styles, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and to apply new skills in everyday life.
