About Gilbertte
Gilbertte Berthier is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with seven years of experience in mental health and school social work. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) among other approaches to help people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma, and low self-esteem. Her pronouns are she/her/hers and she works with adults on a variety of life and interpersonal stressors.
Gilbertte draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy, alongside EFT. She integrates these approaches with her personal faith-based perspective when clients wish to include those values. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer emotional understanding rather than jargon or complex theory.
At the start, Gilbertte helps people name the feelings and patterns that keep getting in the way. That often leads to clearer choices about how to act and relate. She also addresses specific concerns like ADHD symptoms, anger, commitment and communication problems, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress.
Her work includes helping people cope with life changes, family conflict, divorce and separation, domestic violence effects, and grief tied to abandonment or attachment concerns. She uses short, direct conversations and practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve communication.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify core emotions and the interaction patterns that keep relationships stuck. Online sessions can be used to name those emotions and practice new interaction steps in real time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing values-based actions, which translates into short exercises and homework that fit into daily life.Gilbertte treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try approaches that match their goals and preferences. That way the focus stays on what helps in everyday situations rather than on a fixed technique.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use mindfulness or ACT exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals often adapt tools like emotion-mapping and behavioral experiments for remote sessions so practical skill-building continues between appointments.
