More about Berenice

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My name is Berenice Barrientos, and I am a Certified School Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and have over four years of experience working with adolescents, along with experience supporting adult clients. I am passionate about helping teens and adults navigate life’s challenges while recognizing and strengthening their inner resilience.

As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish, allowing me to connect authentically with individuals from diverse backgrounds. My work focuses on supporting young adults and individuals experiencing life transitions, with particular attention to family dynamics, self-esteem, and career-related concerns.

I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe that while life can feel overwhelming at times, those challenges can also serve as opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Together, we will work to better understand your experiences, build confidence, and develop meaningful ways to move forward with strength and purpose.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I utilize evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you identify unhelpful thought patterns, build effective coping skills, and create achievable, lasting change.

I am committed to empowering you to cultivate self-awareness, strengthen your sense of self, and develop resilience. Whether you are facing relationship challenges, career uncertainty, or personal struggles, I am here to walk alongside you—supporting your journey toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
