Gilbertte Berthier, LCSW

Gilbertte Berthier, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who focuses on relationship and interpersonal concerns. She brings seven years of experience as a mental health therapist and school social worker. Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges related to self-esteem and ADHD. She uses a warm, nonjudgmental style and centers the person first in conversations.

She offers a space where people can speak openly and feel heard. Her approach combines evidence-based methods with faith-informed perspectives when clients want that included. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Gilbertte draws from several clinical approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to address communication problems, anger, relationship strain, codependency, and family stressors. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, body image struggles, and caregiver stress.

Her background includes work with individuals, couples, and families on issues such as domestic violence, divorce and separation, and coping with life changes. She aims to help people identify practical next steps, build coping skills, and strengthen connections with others.

Gilbertte speaks English and practices in Florida. She encourages people who are ready to take a first step toward change to begin a conversation and explore a plan that fits their life.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It can help with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in relationships and repairing patterns that lead to disconnection, which can be helpful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She will then recommend methods and adjust them as progress and needs change, keeping the process collaborative and goal-oriented.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it possible to continue regular work while balancing caregiving, school, or work commitments. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in conversation, skill practice, and planning between sessions.
