Online Couples Counseling St. Petersburg

Hi. I’m Dr. Jeannie Bertoli

Pronouns: she/her

I’m passionate about helping couples in crisis have the lives and relationships of their dreams without having to do all the work to learn the concepts and skills they need. Online couples counseling is the best way I can help.

Who I am Today

Let me introduce myself. I’m Jeannie Bertoli - a New Yorker by birth now living happily in St. Petersburg, FL via Georgia, Washington, DC, California, New Mexico, and even a stint in St. Louis, Missouri.

Yup - there’s been lots of exploration and trial and error in my life.

Now…I love my city, my adorable (rescue) dog Jake, and my friends and family. I’m a runner and (largely) vegan health nut. I’m passionate about vitality, wealth, and shortcuts. I am absolutely obsessed with efficiency - finding the quickest answers that yield the highest results.

I’m a no BS kind of lady.

Sharing my knowledge brings me SUCH joy. I love saving people the time and effort I’ve already put in. Here are all my answers…take them and use them as you see fit! :)

How I came to be this way

But it wasn’t always like this - I remember so much of my life was waiting for other people - waiting for them to act, to get ready, or to speak the truth. I remember people being so slow and beating around the bush and not just saying things honestly and directly. I found all of this so aggravating; I wanted to scream “let’s just do it!”.

When I was finally able to face my life, face my issues, that is when I found freedom.

While I made PLENTY of poor choices, the thing that invigorated me was the FREEDOM I felt because no one was stopping me. I wanted to face the situations and make my decisions, and see the results.

My results weren’t always great, but that was okay because I could always try again.

Keep going. Keep getting back at bat and take another swing. I learned very clearly: Solutions come if I keep trying.

When I was in graduate school, I noticed that a LOT of our focus was on the problems clients bring to the office.

We would talk about them, dissect them, focus on them. I remember constantly raising my hand (for 8 years of graduate school, lol), asking: “yeah, but how do we practically help people get what they want?”

I was always concerned with the practicality of it all. They’d discuss theory, and I wanted application!

So off I went to find my answers.

With every class I took and every client I had (for the past 23 years), I’ve found and shared practical, tactical steps for their specific situations. No one is cookie cutter!

I was determined to help people get out of the quagmire, end the not-knowing, face the issues and free themselves!

The exercises and tools I’ve created over the years have helped clients get deep, get honest, and get what they need. Their power lies in showing up and doing the work.

Why Online / Virtual Only?

My clients have raved about the benefits of online counseling, so now that is what I exclusively offer.

They no longer have to drive to an office - meet each other at the same time (often one person left later or hit more traffic), deal with parking issues, wait in the lobby, etc. Now they can be in comfortable clothes or be in their office and simply close the door. The convenience and ease is wonderful.

Couples don’t even have to be in the same room!

Online couples counseling saves TONS of time and energy for clients. Try it for yourself and see the difference.
