About Bertrille

Bertrille Hookfin brings a client-centered, adaptable approach to therapy informed by more than two decades of practice. She emphasizes beginning from each person's current experience and building trust through acceptance, drawing on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR when helpful.

Background and approach

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, ADHD, and issues related to identity and sexuality. With 22 years of experience and licenses as an LCSW and LICSW (LA LCSW 7749, AL LICSW 5872C), she blends evidence-based strategies and compassionate listening to meet clients where they are.

Bertrille has experience supporting clients across many life stages and needs, including parenting, career transitions, eating and sleeping difficulties, addiction, bipolar concerns, and caregiver stress. She frames therapy as a collaborative journey toward greater self-understanding and practical coping skills, aiming to help clients move from acceptance to meaningful change.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and uses acceptance and empathetic listening to build a therapeutic alliance; it helps people explore identity, values, and the starting point for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, skills-based tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works with distressing memories and associated emotions using guided processing techniques to reduce their intensity.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adapt methods over time so interventions match emerging needs and preferences rather than imposing a single model from the outset.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats let clients engage from their own settings, maintain continuity across life transitions, and pick the communication style that best fits their routine and comfort level while working with licensed professionals to pursue their goals.
