About Gilbertte

Gilbertte Berthier is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who integrates practical, evidence-based strategies with a compassionate, person-centered stance.

Background and approach

With seven years of experience as a mental health therapist and school social worker, she draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness to address concerns like depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger, ADHD, and relationship difficulties.

She offers a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients can speak openly and work collaboratively to develop a tailored plan. Gilbertte emphasizes meeting people where they are and combining psychological tools with faith-informed perspectives when appropriate to the client.

Her work with individuals, couples, and families includes helping clients navigate life transitions, parenting and family challenges, communication and commitment issues, and the emotional aftermath of separation, loss, or crisis. Gilbertte approaches therapy as a partnership that starts with small, manageable steps and builds toward greater resilience and emotional wellbeing.

She encourages realistic growth rather than perfection and aims to support clients who are ready to pursue more fulfilling, sustainable change.

Evidence-Based Therapies Adapted for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values, accept difficult internal experiences, and commit to meaningful actions, which can help with avoidance, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Gilbertte will discuss the goals, preferences, and needs of each client and work together to select or blend methods that feel most useful. That collaboration includes setting manageable steps and adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, allowing clients to integrate therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity across changing circumstances.
