How Bertha Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Bertha commonly uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches when working online. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities, which helps people feel understood and guided at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.She often blends these with mindfulness practices to help people stay present and manage strong emotions, and with solution-focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods, and adjust based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences so the work fits the person, not the other way around.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions offer flexibility for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options help make scheduling easier and therapy more accessible across different routines.
