About Bertha
Bertha Myers is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, and life changes. Her practice also covers grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
Bertha keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens for the patterns that come from the family someone grew up in and helps the person name how those patterns affect daily life now. Sessions focus on practical steps - clearer communication, coping strategies, and small behavior changes - rather than lengthy theory talks.
She draws on several commonly used approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's perspective and pacing. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused techniques are used when a calmer attention or concrete goals will help move things forward.
Bertha often works with people who have experienced attachment or abandonment concerns, blended family conflicts, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce. She also supports those confronting depression, bipolar concerns, substance issues, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.
Practicalities are part of the process. She talks about what to try between sessions and how to track small changes. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching step and then schedule a first appointment so the therapist and client can agree on next steps.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective and pace, which helps when someone needs space to talk through family patterns and make decisions at their own speed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, or anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices people can use to calm stress and increase moment-to-moment awareness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped - or not helped - in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them based on what the client notices is working.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-in appointments when that is helpful. Some formats are better for quieter conversation, others for focused skills practice, so confirming options ahead of time helps match the session style to everyday life.
