Background and approach

She focuses on building confidence, managing anger, and coping with grief and trauma. Her work often includes strategies for anxious thoughts and mood shifts using straightforward methods from cognitive behavioral therapy. She also centers her work on listening and responding to what each person says, which comes from a client-centered approach.

That combination helps with panic, impulsivity, and ADHD-related struggles. Bernetta pays attention to cultural factors and the role they play in a person’s life. She supports people exploring forgiveness, life purpose, and women’s issues.

Her style aims to be warm, sensitive, and direct when needed. Getting started involves a short conversation to understand current concerns and goals. From there she and the client map out practical steps to try between sessions.

The focus is on real changes that fit daily life.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening closely and following each person’s lead. It’s about understanding what matters to the client, building rapport, and shaping sessions around their concerns. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe space to talk through feelings and make personal meaning.

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. In plain terms it teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, panic, mood swings, and impulsivity. Clients often practice small exercises between sessions to build new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust the plan over time.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility and help people keep continuity with therapy despite a hectic schedule.
