About Berthina

Berthina McGill is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage anger and related struggles. She offers direct, down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and life transitions. Berthina works with clients to identify practical tools that fit their life and goals. Her style is hands-on and collaborative, aiming to make therapy feel useful from the start.

Berthina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to set realistic goals and build momentum. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps that can change day-to-day experience rather than abstract theory.

With three years of formal experience as an LMHC in Florida, she combines active problem-solving with a compassionate attitude. She encourages clear goal-setting and checks progress each session. This helps clients see what’s working and what needs adjustment.

Berthina welcomes people who want concrete skills for anger, stress, and relationship issues. She supports those facing caregiving strain, codependency, body image concerns, fertility stress, and substance-related problems among other focuses. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Berthina uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Berthina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small experiments that change reactions to stress, anger, or low mood.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and grounding skills. Mindfulness helps people slow down automatic responses and choose calmer actions in tense moments.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Berthina works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, easier scheduling across time zones for international clients, and options that reduce travel time. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help clients practice skills between sessions and apply tools in real life.
