Berenice Barrientos, LPC

Berenice Barrientos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who combines formal training and practical experience to support teens and adults through life transitions. She holds a master’s degree in counseling and has worked for three years with adolescents and adult clients, offering guidance on family dynamics, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with major life changes.

As a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Spanish, she connects with people from diverse backgrounds and creates a warm, nonjudgmental environment for exploration and growth. Her practice emphasizes building inner resilience and self-awareness so clients can better understand their emotions, strengthen self-love, and move toward goals such as improving communication, navigating postpartum depression, clarifying life purpose, or addressing jealousy and forgiveness.

Berenice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop practical coping skills, and set achievable steps for lasting change. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person's needs, with a focus on empowering clients to cultivate confidence, healthier relationships, and a clearer sense of direction in life.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps clients learn specific strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, self-esteem issues, and stress related to life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and small, achievable goals to create forward momentum. It is useful for clients seeking clearer direction in career decisions, relationship improvements, or coping with immediate challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Berenice works collaboratively with each person to explore which evidence-based techniques match their goals, preferences, and needs, and she adjusts the plan over time to improve fit and effectiveness.

Online therapy with Berenice is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow clients to engage from their own communities, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing periods of life. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, skill-oriented work that supports growth and practical problem solving.
