About Bertrille

Bertrille Hookfin is a licensed social worker with 22 years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults. She has provided therapy for clients as young as five and has worked extensively with children and adults who have special needs. Her practice is informed by an eclectic mix of evidence-based methods, tailored to meet each person's unique situation and stage of life.

Bertrille emphasizes meeting clients where they are and building a collaborative, respectful relationship. She draws on the philosophy of Carl Rogers, believing that acceptance of oneself can create the conditions for meaningful change. That perspective guides her work with individuals and families facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and a wide range of life transitions.

She holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW - indicating training and licensure as a clinical social worker who provides therapeutic services. Bertrille approaches each case with empathy, practical strategies, and a focus on helping clients identify and use their strengths as they work toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Bertrille Hookfin uses a mix of client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR depending on a client's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, helping individuals explore their feelings and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a skills-based approach that examines how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and offers practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method often used to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Bertrille works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts techniques over time as needs change, creating a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online therapy offers the flexibility to connect in ways that suit a client's life - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. Bertrille uses these formats to deliver psychotherapy that is thoughtful, goal-oriented, and responsive to each client's evolving needs.
