Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Bernell provides online care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered process in which the client and clinician work together to identify priorities and select practices that fit the client’s needs. Communication options are offered to match different preferences for real-time or text-based interaction.
In remote work she often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients clarify values, notice inner experience, and practice skills that support day-to-day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy are used to explore relational patterns and intimacy-related concerns, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides tools to examine thought and behavior patterns and build practical coping strategies.
Clients who want to participate in a collaborative process that combines exploration with skill-building may find this mix of approaches a workable fit. Sessions can be scheduled via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on the client’s preference.
