Bertrille Hookfin , LCSW, LICSW

She has 18 years of experience providing therapy to individuals ranging from five-year-olds to adults. Over the course of her career she has supported children and adults with special needs, offering tailored care that meets each person where they are.

Her work reflects an eclectic approach, drawing from multiple therapeutic methods to fit the unique goals and circumstances of each client. She emphasizes beginning therapy at the client's current place of coping and understanding, believing that progress grows from that starting point.

Guided by a central therapeutic aim similar to Carl Rogers' idea that acceptance of who we are can lead to change, she centers acceptance as a foundation for growth. She accompanies clients on that journey toward greater self-understanding and meaningful change, partnering with them through the process of acceptance and transformation.

Are Remote Sessions a Good Fit for Clients?

Many people question whether online therapy can produce meaningful benefits. For a wide range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that best fits their routines and comfort level, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability helps integrate therapeutic support into daily life without the need for travel or strict scheduling constraints.

Therapists working remotely use established therapeutic approaches to address many everyday challenges, and clients can change therapists if a different fit is desired. For those weighing options, remote sessions offer a practical and effective path to access licensed professional support.
