About Bernadette
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 7 years of experience. Bernadette Holyoke focuses on family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, mood disorders, and stress and anxiety. She uses Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Bernadette writes plainly with families and individuals about real-life problems. She helps people name patterns that cause pain and practices skills to change them. Sessions often include straightforward talk, skill practice, and real-world plans to try between meetings.
Her background centers on personality and mood difficulties and trauma-related problems. She has worked with people diagnosed with ADHD, disruptive behavior, self-harm, post-traumatic stress, obsessive thoughts, bipolar I, and personality disorders. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, grief, addiction, body image, abandonment, and adoption or foster care concerns.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered methods to follow the client’s lead while using CBT and DBT techniques for managing mood and behavior. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationships and parenting. ACT strategies are used when values and commitment help guide change.
Bernadette describes her role as supporting and advocating for clients and their mental health needs. She aims to make sessions practical and approachable. To begin, people use the site matching process to schedule an initial appointment and discuss which approaches will fit their goals.

How her clinical approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take concrete steps toward those values. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, and addiction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and parenting. It supports work on communication, bonding, and family stress. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps. That collaborative process means methods can shift over time to fit emerging needs and preferences. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow for brief check-ins during a work break, or avoid being on camera when that feels preferable. Therapists can use exercises, worksheets, and skill coaching during remote sessions to practice real-life changes between meetings.Sheet 3
