About Bertha
Bertha Myers is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult life changes. She offers straightforward support for relationship and family concerns, addiction and substance issues, and struggles with self-esteem or career direction. Her tone is calm and practical, aiming to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is nervous about reaching out.
Bertha uses clear conversation to identify what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She works collaboratively to set small goals and build coping skills that fit real life. Sessions mix listening with gentle guidance so people can try new ways of responding. She draws on approaches that focus on present-day problems as well as past experiences that still cause pain.
Her background includes eight years of clinical experience and a South Carolina LPC license. That experience informs a flexible approach with attention to cultural and personal context. Bertha often combines thought-focused strategies with mindfulness and narrative work to help clients reframe difficult stories and reduce unhelpful thinking.
Clients can expect practical tools for handling anger, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, and mood swings related to bipolar disorder or depression. She also supports people working through trauma, domestic violence effects, and addiction recovery pathways. Work is paced to each person's needs and comfort level.
Bertha offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She helps clients weigh options and choose a format that fits their schedule and communication style.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's pace. It helps people feel heard and supported while they work through decisions, relationship problems, or stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces practical exercises to change patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. That collaborative process can include trying a mix of approaches and adjusting what is used as progress or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. Video can be useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and are easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can work for shorter check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking.
