About Berthina
Berthina McGill helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out find steady footing. She listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients build straightforward skills for handling stress, anger, and relationship strain. Berthina uses everyday language and hands-on strategies so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.
Berthina is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, working from Florida. She has three years of experience as a practicing clinician and draws on broader years in the mental health field to inform her work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and start with clear, manageable goals. Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That means clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practice simple present-moment skills, and find personal reasons to make change.
These tools are useful for anxiety, depression, anger management, addictive behaviors, and career or parenting stress. In session she emphasizes concrete steps and short-term plans when that fits the client's needs. She also brings a solution-focused mindset to help people identify small shifts that add up.
Conversations often move from identifying a problem to testing a different behavior right away. Berthina works with people on many concerns including self-esteem, grief over life changes, family-of-origin issues, body image, and compassion fatigue. She also supports clients navigating gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and recovery from domestic violence or substance problems.
Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Berthina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits by practicing specific techniques and small behavioral experiments. Mindfulness therapy teaches straightforward attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That means trying something for a few sessions and switching strategies if it isn't helpful.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping therapy consistent.
