About Bernadette

Bernadette Holyoke is an LPC based in Oklahoma who uses a collaborative, client-centered framework to guide therapy. She blends practical cognitive-behavioral strategies with trauma-informed perspectives to address mood and personality concerns, helping clients manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and the challenges that follow traumatic experiences.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of evidence-informed tools to meet varied needs including addiction, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Her practice also attends to relational and developmental themes such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, and communication or control difficulties.

Bernadette incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques alongside client-centered care to help clients build skills, increase emotional awareness, and pursue values-driven change. She aims to create an engaging, supportive atmosphere where clients feel respected and encouraged to explore goals and coping options.

In addition to working with trauma and mood presentations, she offers support around ADHD, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance-related problems. Bernadette approaches each case with curiosity and advocacy, emphasizing practical steps and collaborative planning that align with a client’s priorities.

How clinical approaches shape online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through structured strategies and skill practice, which can help with mood disorders, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relational patterns and current attachment needs to improve interpersonal functioning and address issues like abandonment, adoption-related concerns, and communication difficulties.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and symptoms, and then integrates techniques from these frameworks to tailor sessions to individual needs. Clients and the therapist regularly review progress and adjust methods when needed so care remains aligned with evolving priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or reach a provider from different locations within Oklahoma. These formats support ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and continuity of care while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions and supportive collaboration across modalities.
