About Bertrille

Bertrille Hookfin uses a client-centered approach to help people who are feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. She draws on simple, practical methods so people can talk through current problems and find steps that fit their lives. Bertrille is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - and she brings 22 years of experience to her work in Louisiana.

She begins by listening closely and meeting people where they are. That means noticing strengths, learning what matters to each person, and setting small, reachable goals together.

Background and approach

Sessions cover everyday struggles like sleep problems, work stress, low self-esteem, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Bertrille combines client-centered care with approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. She also uses EMDR for people who have trauma histories and motivational interviewing when change feels hard.

These methods are used in a practical, down-to-earth way so people can try new skills between sessions. Her background includes many years working with children, adults, and people with special needs, and she adapts her style to fit each person’s needs. People who come for help may be dealing with grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, or life transitions.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Bertrille explains options clearly and helps people choose the format that works for their schedule and comfort.

Approaches Bertrille names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Bertrille uses client-centered therapy to create a space where people feel heard and respected. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and building goals together, which works well over video or phone when someone needs a conversational, supportive style.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often includes short exercises or homework between sessions, which can be shared and reviewed in text messages or during video visits.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Bertrille will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they choose techniques and a session format that match day-to-day routines and comfort levels.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer discussions and skill practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels intrusive. Live chat and texting are helpful for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style conversations, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
