About Bertha

Bertha Taillefer is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in New York. She draws on long experience to help people who are coping with stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, anger, and family concerns. She aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and encouraging.

Bertha focuses on practical conversations that address what is happening now. She listens for what matters most to each person and then shapes sessions around those priorities. That can mean building routines to manage attention, learning simple tools for calming, or finding words to express grief.

Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. She works with people at their own pace and adapts the plan when needs change. The therapist explains options plainly so clients can take part in decisions about care.

Sessions mix problem-solving and emotional support. For stress and anxiety, she helps identify triggers and small changes that make daily life easier. For family issues, she helps people talk through patterns and set realistic goals for change.

Bertha encourages parents and caregivers to reach out when they feel overwhelmed. She offers a steady presence and practical steps aimed at making daily life feel more manageable. If you are ready to start, she asks that you complete a short matching questionnaire to get scheduled.

Evidence-based techniques and online care

Bertha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage everyday problems. She focuses on approaches that teach practical skills for managing emotions and attention. For anxiety and stress she works on techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce worry. For ADHD-related concerns she emphasizes structure and routines, helping people develop simple systems to stay organized and follow through on tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and adjust methods based on a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and ongoing so the plan stays relevant as life changes.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others value shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or choosing a format that does not require being on camera. Bertha aims to help each person find a way of meeting that fits their routine and goals.
