About Gilbertte

Gilbertte Berthier is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with seven years of experience. She uses a compassionate, down-to-earth style to help people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach is practical and person-focused, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable.

She draws on Narrative ideas to help clients tell and reframe the stories that shape their lives. That narrative work is mixed with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused work are also available when helpful. Gilbertte has worked as a mental health therapist and a school social worker. That background gives her experience with interpersonal problems, ADHD challenges, family stress, and transitions such as divorce or separation.

She also supports people coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. Sessions are meant to feel warm and non-judgmental. Gilbertte emphasizes starting from who a person is rather than a label, and she combines psychological approaches with faith-based perspectives when clients want that included.

She focuses on small, practical steps clients can take between sessions. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. Gilbertte works with each client to shape a plan that fits their values and daily life.

She aims to help people move from feeling stuck to having clearer next steps and more control over how they live.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT translate to online sessions

Gilbertte uses Narrative work to help people see the stories they tell about themselves and find different ways to understand their lives. That approach helps with identity questions, relationship patterns, and issues like abandonment or adoption-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and small actions people can take even when feelings are hard; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes.

She treats approach selection as a team effort. The therapist will explain different methods, try things out, and adjust based on what the client says is helpful. This collaborative process helps match Narrative, ACT, or emotionally-focused techniques to the client’s goals and daily realities.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make work on these approaches flexible. Video lets therapy feel more like in-person conversation. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a lighter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions or fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options aim to make regular work on values, story change, and practical coping skills easier to maintain.
