About Minnie
Minnie Berman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 40 years of experience. She centers her work on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and warm, and she encourages small steps toward real change.
She uses existential ideas to help people name what matters most to them. That approach invites conversations about purpose, responsibility, and how to live with uncertainty.
Background and approach
Minnie also draws on attachment-based work to look at how early connections shape current relationships and patterns. In sessions she uses client-centered principles to listen closely and make space for honest feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available when people need practical skills for managing mood, strong emotions, or unhelpful thinking.
Those tools are taught simply and practiced between sessions. Minnie has supported people through grief, trauma, addiction, parenting stress, and career concerns. She helps address issues such as body image, shame, abandonment fears, and family of origin problems.
Her aim is to help clients build clearer choices and more reliable coping strategies. Her approach balances real-world problem solving with deeper conversations about meaning. People who work with her can expect a collaborative tone, steady guidance, and a focus on goals that matter in daily life.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Existential Therapy helps people face big questions about purpose, choice, and what gives life meaning. Online sessions can provide time and space to think through midlife concerns, feelings of isolation, and decisions about work or relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and patterns. In remote sessions this often means talking through relationship reactions, improving communication, and noticing patterns that repeat in friendships or parenting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship where feelings can be expressed without judgment. That approach is useful for people who need space to talk through fears, grief, or self-esteem issues.Minnie works collaboratively to find the best fit for each person. She will discuss goals, preferences, and which approaches feel most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on meaning-making, relationship patterns, or practical skills, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and nonverbal feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer a way to stay engaged between meetings and to get brief support without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping the focus on steady progress.
