About Gilbertte
Gilbertte Berthier is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida with seven years of experience. She uses a practical, person-first approach that blends evidence-based methods with faith-informed perspectives. She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and begin to find direction. Her pronouns are she/her/hers and she focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and related concerns.
Gilbertte has worked in community mental health and school settings, supporting individuals, couples, and families through common life struggles. She draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, among others. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, small steps, and practical strategies people can use between meetings.
Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are and tailoring conversations to their values and needs. She helps people identify patterns that cause pain and practices skills to shift those patterns. Topics she commonly addresses include attachment concerns, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and communication difficulties.
Gilbertte emphasizes steady progress over perfection and encourages clients to aim for a better version of themselves each day. She offers compassionate support for those feeling stuck after trauma, major life changes, or family strain. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through setting realistic steps and building momentum toward change.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It suits depression, anxiety, and goal-focused work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and helps people build stronger emotional connection and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Gilbertte works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one method will fit everyone.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care when life changes make in-person meetings harder. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT tools to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and keep momentum toward their goals.
