About Berenice
Berenice Barrientos is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing family stress, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and practical. Her style is warm and collaborative, with a focus on small, useful steps that add up over time.
Berenice draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more workable options.
Background and approach
She also focuses on setting short-term goals and finding real-life solutions people can try between meetings. Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and three years working as a counselor in Texas. Bilingual skills let her communicate in both English and Spanish, which clients use to express themselves more comfortably.
In sessions Berenice emphasizes building confidence and practical coping skills. She addresses things like communication problems, forgiveness, jealousy, life purpose, postpartum depression, self-love, and issues common to young adults. Conversations are shaped around each person’s goals and everyday realities.
People can expect straightforward talk, homework that feels doable, and step-by-step planning toward clearer next moves. Berenice aims to help clients strengthen resilience and move through transitions with more clarity and confidence.
Evidence-based approaches delivered online
CBT helps people notice patterns of thinking that make problems feel worse and then practice different ways of responding. It is useful for low self-esteem, anxiety about life changes, and mood concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on what's working and builds small, achievable steps toward a clearer goal; it is helpful for career decisions and practical problems. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy looks at how beliefs drive emotions and behavior and supports trying new, healthier beliefs when needed.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and adjust techniques as sessions progress. That collaborative process helps match methods to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
