About Berenice
Berenice Barrientos is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with three years of experience. She focuses on young adult issues and on concerns such as family relationships, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Berenice works in both English and Spanish. She helps people who are adjusting after school, starting first jobs, or feeling uncertain about their next steps. Sessions tend to look at everyday pressures like money, identity, relationships, and comparison to others.
Her background includes work with adolescents and adults and a master’s degree in counseling. In practical terms she uses talking, guided reflection, and skill-building to help clients identify patterns that cause stress and to find new responses that feel manageable.
She describes her approach as collaborative. That means she and the client set goals together and try methods that fit the person’s life. The work often focuses on changing unhelpful thinking, practicing new behaviors, and setting short-term steps to gain momentum.
Bilingual clients can choose between English and Spanish. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used and online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify thinking patterns that increase stress and replace them with more helpful, realistic thoughts. This approach is often used for low self-esteem, career anxiety, and adjusting to life changes.Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, or REBT, focuses on challenging rigid or extreme beliefs that lead to intense emotional reactions. It teaches practical ways to dispute those beliefs and try different behaviors when emotions run high. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and on what already works for the client, which can be useful when someone wants quick, practical steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods based on their goals, concerns, and daily life. That choice can change as progress is made and as needs shift.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow sessions without commuting. Talk with the therapist about whether video, phone, or another supported format best fits your routines and technical setup.
