Gilbertte Berthier, LCSW

Gilbertte Berthier is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 7 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. As an LCSW she draws on clinical training in social work to assess needs, build treatment plans, and work collaboratively with clients toward realistic goals.

Her background includes roles as a mental health therapist and a school social worker, giving her experience with a range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger control, ADHD, financial stress, and relationship difficulties. She has worked with individuals, couples, and families and attends to both emotional symptoms and the interpersonal patterns that affect daily life.

Gilbertte offers a warm, non-judgmental space where clients are invited to express themselves and explore change. Her approach integrates evidence-based psychological methods with faith-based perspectives when that integration fits a client’s values, and she individualizes dialogue and treatment plans to meet each person’s specific needs.

She encourages clients to take small, meaningful steps when the path forward feels unclear, and emphasizes resilience and gradual progress rather than perfection. Gilbertte aims to support and empower people as they pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life, and she looks forward to working alongside those ready to begin that process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions by helping clients move toward a meaningful life despite discomfort.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By learning to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical coping skills, clients may find relief from symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and attention-related challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving clients a supportive environment to explore identity, relationships, self-esteem, and family concerns. This approach helps people feel heard and validated as they work through personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gilbertte collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Gilbertte can be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity during busy seasons, and choose the communication style that works best for each client.
