About
Pauline Bernard, LCSW, CSW, brings eight years of clinical practice to work focused on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and career concerns. Her approach centers on exploring what lies beneath persistent tension so that practical, personally meaningful changes can follow. She also attends to related themes such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions of life purpose.
Her training includes a master’s degree from Smith College, where clinical preparation emphasized psychodynamic perspectives and a social justice lens, as well as a PhD in history and social sciences and an additional master’s in history. Having lived and worked in the United States, France, and Italy, she brings awareness of cross-cultural challenges and language differences to the therapeutic process. Sessions begin with an introductory meeting to begin sharing the client’s story and clarifying goals, and subsequent work is framed as a collaborative effort to integrate different parts of the self and to identify pathways forward.

Remote sessions informed by psychodynamic and contextual perspectives
Pauline Bernard begins with an introductory session to hear each person’s story and to clarify goals for therapy. Her academic background highlights psychodynamic perspectives, which focus on revealing underlying patterns and relational themes that contribute to stress, anxiety, and difficulties in connection. She combines this with attention to social and cultural context when relevant to a person’s experience. In online work she attends to areas such as relationships, trauma and abuse, self esteem, career transitions, and questions of meaning, including forgiveness, guilt and shame, and isolation. Clients who seek reflective, exploratory collaboration about recurring feelings, life transitions, or patterns in relationships may find this approach a fit. Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different communication preferences.What is Pauline Bernard's professional experience?
