How her approaches guide online therapy
Bernice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on real-life patterns and small experiments that can ease anxiety, depression, and stress over time.She also applies Psychodynamic Therapy to understand how past relationships and early patterns shape current reactions. This approach can help when recurring conflicts or long-standing emotional responses are getting in the way of daily life.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try ways that fit the situation, and adjust methods as needed to find what helps most.
