About Bertha

Bertha Myers is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) working from South Carolina who supports people facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

She helps clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family difficulties, cope with grief, address addiction and trauma, and work toward better self-esteem and career clarity. With eight years of clinical experience, she combines practical strategies with compassionate listening to help clients move through difficult transitions.

Her style blends collaborative, client-centered care with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative approaches, and Internal Family Systems to address both present problems and underlying patterns. Bertha emphasizes resilience-building, healing from past experiences, and strengthening communication and coping skills.

She frames therapy as a partnership, meeting each person where they are and tailoring interventions to their goals and values. Bertha is experienced working with people confronting caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and issues related to aging, body image, or substance use.

She offers an affirming space for exploration and growth and supports clients in developing concrete strategies to manage daily challenges and pursue meaningful change.

Blending therapeutic approaches for online care

Internal Family Systems is a gentle, parts-focused method that helps people notice and dialogue with different inner aspects of themselves to reduce internal conflict and heal from past wounds. It can be useful for trauma, shame, self-criticism, and complex emotional patterns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s lived experience by offering empathic listening and unconditional regard, creating space for insight and self-directed change. This approach supports people who need validation and a steady, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete strategies, making it well suited for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bertha collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts treatment over time as those goals evolve. Clients and therapist work together to choose tools that feel useful and realistic for everyday life.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods or transitions and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care across a range of needs while accommodating client routines and accessibility.
