About Berthina
Berthina McGill is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) offering support for people coping with stress and anxiety. She helps clients find practical tools for everyday challenges and works with those facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her style is direct and collaborative, aimed at helping people notice small changes that add up over time.
With three years as an LMHC in Florida, she draws on brief, goal-focused methods to guide sessions.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward techniques to help clients tackle addictive behaviors, manage anger, and rebuild confidence. Berthina pays attention to how everyday routines affect mood and coping. She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT concerns, fertility and family-of-origin issues, and the strain of caregiving.
Other areas she addresses include career stress, compassion fatigue, body image, and responses to disaster. Her scope includes work related to mood conditions and disruptive mood challenges. Berthina blends evidence-informed approaches in sessions and tailors tools to each person’s situation.
She helps people set small, achievable goals, practice new habits, and track what works. Conversations focus on practical steps rather than labels. Sessions are offered in English and Berthina is available to international clients.
She provides a range of online formats so people can choose what fits their schedules and daily life. To begin, people complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a session.
How online approaches and tools support change
Berthina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and stress levels. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily reactions to stress.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention practices that can lower anxiety and improve focus in everyday tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will ask about your goals and try methods that match your needs, adjusting the plan as you learn what helps. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.
Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, note-taking, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
