About Bertha
Bertha Myers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, grief, addiction, and life changes. She also lists support for parenting, career concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than abstract talk. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people set short-term goals. Conversations cover communication skills, managing strong emotions, and coping strategies for everyday pressures like work or study.
Bertha uses several well-known therapy approaches and adapts them to each person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to prioritize the person’s perspective, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness techniques to manage stress in the moment. She also uses narrative and solution-focused tools when people want to rewrite personal stories or focus on immediate change.
She has experience supporting young adults navigating the move into independence, including issues around identity, relationships, and career starts. Bertha also works with caregivers and people dealing with trauma or substance issues, helping them build routines and safer coping habits.
Her style is collaborative and grounded in practical skills. New clients can expect straightforward discussion of goals, homework-like practice between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress. She encourages people to bring concrete problems to each meeting so sessions stay focused and useful.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person’s experience and helping them lead the conversation. It is useful when someone needs validation and clearer self-understanding before changing habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage overwhelming emotion.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try approaches that fit the client’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments happen over time based on what is helpful.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and offering more flexible timing. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or full-length sessions focused on skill practice and planning.
