About Berenice
Berenice Barrientos is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who helps people facing family stress, self-esteem struggles, career uncertainty, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations straightforward and approachable for parents and adults. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental so people can speak openly about what feels hard right now.
Berenice draws on a range of evidence-based techniques to address unhelpful thinking and to build practical coping skills. She often focuses on helping clients notice patterns that undermine confidence and on finding small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals.
Her background includes a master's degree in counseling and professional experience working with adolescents and adults. Berenice spent several years supporting young people through school-related and personal challenges and later broadened her work to include adult concerns and life transitions.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to the client, then works with them to set clear, achievable steps. Topics she commonly addresses include communication problems, forgiveness, jealousy, life purpose, postpartum depression, self-love, and young adult issues. Her aim is to help people build resilience and move forward with more confidence.
People who choose her often want practical tools and simple ways to make progress. She encourages open conversation about goals and adjusts the approach as needs change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting thoughts that make feelings and behavior worse. It helps people break down worries and practice different ways of thinking to reduce stress and boost confidence. REBT, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, looks at rigid or extreme beliefs and gently challenges them to create more flexible responses. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, practical steps and building on what already works to reach concrete goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal oriented.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule and lets people choose a format that fits their energy level, such as a conversation-focused session rather than a longer deep dive.
