Bernina Alagic

Bernina Alagic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and attention-related concerns. Bernina speaks English and Bosnian and accepts international clients. Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions center on the client’s priorities and move at a pace that feels right for them. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and calm when emotions feel overwhelming. Attachment-based methods inform how she looks at relationship patterns and early experiences that shape current reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in clarifying values and taking small steps toward meaningful change. Client-centered work means the conversation stays respectful and nonjudgmental, with the client’s voice guiding decisions about goals and next steps. Bernina tailors the plan to individual needs, whether the focus is communication skills, coping with past wounds, or managing chronic stress. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful, with practical tools to try between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-based actions even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, motivation challenges, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce worry and improve coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect present-day responses, helping people shift repeated cycles in their close ties.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and everyday life.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and less travel time, which can make regular sessions simpler to keep. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or let clients use mindfulness or skills practice in the moment between obligations. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking to match the way you want to meet.
