About Bertha

Bertha Myers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, and challenges around parenting, career and self-esteem. Bertha also lists codependency among her practice areas and supports people coping with abandonment, attachment issues, and caregiving stress.

Her sessions are straightforward and collaborative. She listens to what a person brings and helps identify small, practical steps to manage overwhelming feelings. Bertha draws on client-centered work to keep the person’s goals central and uses evidence-based methods when helpful.

Bertha frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors. She integrates narrative approaches to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves. Solution-focused steps help set concrete goals and measure progress between sessions.

She highlights mindfulness practices for calming the body and building awareness of triggers. Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and short homework tasks to try between meetings. The overall aim is clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping, not quick fixes.

Bertha’s background includes diverse clinical experience with adults navigating life change and caregiving roles. Her practice acknowledges the emotional toll of long-term stress and adds practical strategies to reduce burnout and support recovery from substance-related problems.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies goals, and supports the client in deciding which issues to address first. It helps with building clarity around values and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT include reviewing recent situations, testing alternative thoughts, and planning small behavioral experiments to try between meetings. This approach is often useful for anxiety, mood, and habitual patterns that contribute to codependent behaviors.

Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. In an online format, the therapist guides brief exercises and supports integrating them into daily routines to lower stress and improve focus.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion can change as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Ask which options are offered and how sessions are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time so work or caregiving commitments are easier to balance.
