How Berthina’s Approaches Work Online

Berthina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to shift results. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building the client’s own reasons for change and increasing readiness to act.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy when helpful, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These methods are presented in plain language and tied to everyday tasks so clients can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of techniques fits their goals and preferences. Sessions start with small goals and adjust as progress is made, so clients help shape the plan from the first meeting.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit around work or caregiving. For example, shorter check-ins can be arranged to fit a break at work, or sessions can be scheduled to reduce travel time. Discuss practical needs when you start so appointments match your routine.
