More about Bertha

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I specialize in anxiety, anger, stress, depression, grief, conflict resolution, and addiction. These are the components that worsen every other area in life. I received my Masters in Mental Health in 2016, and my approach to counseling is to identify the thinking styles that are causing the most significant dysfunction. It is to identify the visible and hidden areas. I have written programs to assist individuals with personal issues, couples, and groups. I work with singles, couples, the elderly, and I have worked in the helping profession for over 25 years. We make the decisions that we make because of available options and past experiences, but with better decisions comes better health.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
