About Bertha

Bertha Taillefer is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of professional experience in New York. She has worked with people coping with stress, anxiety, ADHD, family conflict, grief and loss, and anger, drawing on a long clinical background to shape individualized care.

Background and approach

As an LCSW-R she frames treatment around respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and plans to each person’s circumstances and goals. Her practice emphasizes collaboration; she partners with clients to develop goals and adjusts strategies when life changes or new information emerges.

Bertha encourages those taking the first steps toward therapy, acknowledging that beginning treatment takes courage and offering steady support through the process. Her approach focuses on practical, evidence-informed techniques tailored to the needs presented in sessions, with an aim to help clients manage symptoms, navigate relationships, and build day-to-day coping skills.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Bertha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions in a clear, goal-oriented way. One common approach she employs focuses on practical skill building to manage anxiety and stress, teaching concrete strategies for emotion regulation, problem solving, and daily routines that can reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on addressing grief and family-related challenges through supportive exploration of loss, communication patterns, and ways to rebuild routines and connection after disruption.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to identify goals, trial different techniques, and refine the plan as needs and preferences emerge, so the treatment reflects what helps the individual make progress in real life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it possible to continue work during busy periods or when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on skills, coping, and progress in regular sessions.
