Gilbertte Berthier

Gilbertte Berthier is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with seven years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s overwhelming them. Her pronouns are she/her/hers and she blends clinical methods with faith-informed perspectives when appropriate.

Her work covers a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and anger. She also addresses ADHD, coping with life changes, and challenges related to family and parenting roles. Those who have faced adoption, attachment or abandonment issues will find these topics within her focus areas.

Gilbertte uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She adapts sessions to each person’s needs and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

In sessions she aims to help people find small, practical steps forward when things feel stuck. Conversations often look at values, patterns of thought and behavior, and ways to manage intense emotions like anger. She encourages building on strengths and learning new coping skills.

Her background includes work as a mental health therapist and a school social worker. That experience informs her practical focus on everyday concerns, communication problems, caregiver stress, and relationship dynamics.

How Gilbertte’s Methods Translate to Online Work

Gilbertte draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions or anger feel overwhelming. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and to practice more helpful responses.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Gilbertte will discuss different methods with each person and shape the work around goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide which strategies feel useful and try approaches that match the problem at hand.

Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and in-the-moment skill practice from their daily routines while still talking through relationship or anger issues with a licensed professional.
