    About Minnie

    Minnie Berman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 40 years of experience. She emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental approach and encourages people to take the first step toward getting help. Her style aims to make conversations feel straightforward and manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

    She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and to build their own motivation. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to focus on relationships and the way early connections shape current challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are part of her toolkit when practical skills are needed for mood, stress, or behavior change.

    Minnie works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, self-esteem, career stress, grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, mood disorders, and addictions. She also helps people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, body image, abandonment and attachment issues, and questions about life purpose.

    Her sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. She listens to what matters most, points out patterns that get in the way, and practices small steps people can try between sessions. Conversations are paced to match each person’s readiness for change.

    To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

  2. How therapy approaches translate to online care

    Minnie's work often combines Motivational Interviewing and Attachment-Based Therapy. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and build motivation for change in small, practical steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people shift how they relate to others.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative - goals and methods can change as progress is made.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into daily life, reduce travel time, and can be scheduled around work or caregiving responsibilities. Online meetings also make it easier to check in quickly on skills between sessions and to continue therapy when life circumstances change.
