About Terisa
LCSW in California with eight years of practice, Terisa Berger focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide conversations and practical steps.
Terisa keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behavior, then helps people test small changes. She works through grief and loss by helping people name what they’re feeling and try concrete ways to manage hard days.
For anxiety and mood concerns she often uses simple CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and experiment with different responses. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify a person’s own reasons for change and to strengthen commitment to next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and notice what improves between sessions.
She aims to help with relationship challenges by improving communication skills and clarifying each person’s priorities. When caregiving stress, chronic health issues, or attachment concerns come up, Terisa focuses on practical coping strategies and clear problem-solving. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented.
People who reach out start by describing the problem they want to change. Terisa then works with them to set manageable goals and track progress. Her approach centers on working together to test what helps in day-to-day life.

How Terisa structures remote sessions and approaches
Terisa commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience so they can talk through concerns and identify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Terisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is seen.
The therapist’s biography does not state which remote formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on communication skills, practice CBT exercises between meetings, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Working remotely also allows continuity when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use these formats to keep therapy accessible and practical.
