About Gilbertte

Gilbertte Berthier is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience as a mental health therapist and school social worker. She blends evidence-based practices with a client-centered stance to help people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, anger, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her work includes supporting clients through family and interpersonal concerns as well as life transitions that can feel overwhelming. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental environment where exploration and practical skill-building are combined.

Gilbertte emphasizes meeting clients where they are, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to individual needs and values. She draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to address both emotional patterns and actionable coping strategies.

Gilbertte frames therapy as a collaborative journey rooted in human dignity and growth. She aims to empower people to take manageable steps forward, rebuild confidence after setbacks, and develop clearer paths for change.

Her practice supports a range of concerns from family and relationship problems to stress, ADHD-related challenges, and recovery from trauma.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gilbertte uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for people facing anxiety, depression, and life transitions who want to build psychological flexibility and focus on meaningful goals.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and to teach practical skills for changing those patterns. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms by providing concrete tools for problem solving and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gilbertte will work with each client to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Gilbertte offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it possible to schedule care around daily life, continue work between sessions with brief messages, and access support from home or another convenient location. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic methods described above while adapting pacing and tools to suit each client.
