About Bertha

Bertha Beltran is an Arizona Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger. She works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Beltran keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She encourages people to describe what is happening, what they want to change, and what gets in the way. Conversations move between understanding patterns and trying practical steps that can be used day to day. She uses a mix of talk-based and skills-focused work depending on the persons needs.

Her background includes extended clinical work with people coping with depression, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career stress. She also supports clients facing post-traumatic stress, chronic illness or pain, attachment and abandonment concerns, and gender dysphoria. This breadth helps when problems overlap or carry on across different parts of life.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and clarify what matters most, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings affect relationships. She may also use EMDR where trauma processing is appropriate and Motivational Interviewing for goals and change talk.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Bertha aims to keep the work practical and oriented toward clearer responses to stress and anger.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and clarifying what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect concerns and priorities so the client can decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small changes. CBT work online can include reviewing thought patterns, setting brief experiments between sessions, and practicing new responses to anger or anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotional responses shape relationships and helps people recognize and shift those responses in real time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try things, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills work, emotional processing, or trauma-focused techniques.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. They also let people join from different locations when travel or schedules make in-person visits difficult. The therapist will discuss how to shape session length and focus so the work fits everyday life.
