About Berline
Berline Lapomarede is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem issues, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Berline uses practical, structured methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help clients test new ways of thinking and responding. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable steps when people want short-term, goal-oriented work.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and a range of clinical settings such as residential and outpatient programs and detention settings. That variety informs how she adapts tools for different life situations and stressors.
In sessions she focuses on teaching skills people can use between meetings. That can include thought records, behavioral experiments, grounding and breathing practices, and brief goal-setting exercises. Work is practical and paced to what a person can try in daily life.
For people juggling caregiving, work, or school, she addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, isolation, and career concerns. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, obsessive-compulsive patterns, self-harm thoughts, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
How her approaches translate to online work
Berline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions often include specific exercises such as tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and planning small behavior changes that can be practiced between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can set the pace and topics for sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach concrete breathing and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and improve attention in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and adjust as progress is made.
