About Bertha

Bertha Beltran is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Arizona who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, and a wide range of related concerns.

Background and approach

She brings 15 years of professional experience to her work and addresses issues that include intimacy and sexual health, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and anger, self-esteem and career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes, among other areas. Her practice emphasizes a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients are invited to explore thoughts and emotions openly.

She draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) along with client-centered principles, emotionally-focused techniques, EMDR for trauma processing, and motivational interviewing to help people build practical skills and new perspectives. Bertha approaches each person collaboratively, tailoring interventions to fit individual needs and goals while respecting cultural and linguistic preferences in English and Spanish.

Clients considering beginning therapy can expect a supportive guide who values honesty, growth, and practical problem solving. She accepts international clients and works with a variety of life concerns, offering flexible formats to connect and engage in meaningful change.

Helping You Online with Collaborative, Evidence-Informed Care

Bertha commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates client-centered techniques that emphasize empathy and respect, creating space for people to express themselves and shape goals at their own pace. Together these approaches aim to blend skill-building with personal exploration to address emotional and relational concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Bertha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best. She listens to clients' needs and preferences and adapts strategies over time so treatment aligns with their goals and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Bertha is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from Arizona or from other locations, and they support a variety of communication styles for practicing new skills between sessions.
