Berline Lapomarede

Berline Lapomarede is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk through difficult moments. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she focuses on practical tools more than labels.

Berline completed a Master of Social Work at Florida Atlantic University and brings ten years of clinical experience. She has worked in a mix of settings and with many different concerns, which shaped her flexible, people-centered style. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and skills that someone can try between meetings.

Her work uses methods like Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clarify goals and Solution-Focused Therapy to find immediate, practical steps forward.

Berline pays attention to issues such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship and communication problems, compulsive or impulsive behaviors, and caregiver strain. She aims to help people regain control over daily life and reduce intense reactions like anger.

People who choose her often want straightforward guidance, skills to manage strong feelings, and a supportive listener who respects their values. She invites prospective clients to start by describing what feels most urgent, so they can build a clear plan together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client's priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist helps the person set the agenda and checks in often to make sure goals feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific strategies to change them, which works well when clients try skills between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy builds simple attention and grounding practices to help reduce reactivity and manage strong feelings; these can be practiced during short daily moments.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and what has felt helpful before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress happens.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or letting someone join from a quieter place. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach coping skills, practice communication, and set small goals that fit into everyday routines.
