About Gilbertte
Gilbertte Berthier is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She has worked as a mental health therapist and a school social worker. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, depression, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
Gilbertte uses a mix of evidence-based approaches and interpersonal methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and make deliberate choices about behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered therapy guide conversations about connection and emotional expression. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness of the present moment.
In sessions she offers a direct, person-focused way of working. Conversations move between identifying patterns and practicing alternative responses. That can include examining thought patterns, naming emotions, and trying small behavioral experiments between meetings.
Gilbertte also brings experience from school social work into clinical work. That background informs practical strategies for communication, setting boundaries, and handling stressful situations in everyday life. She integrates personal, cultural, or faith perspectives when clients want that included.
People who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health often look for clear next steps. Gilbertte aims to help clients notice what matters to them and take manageable steps toward those values. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Gilbertte often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship or attachment themes are central. EFT centers on naming emotions and strengthening emotional communication to improve connections and reduce conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gilbertte will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can be adjusted together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. These practical benefits can help people maintain momentum while they try new behaviors and skills.
