Bertha Beltran , LCSW

Bertha Beltran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftereffects of trauma. She supports clients dealing with relationship and family conflict, issues around intimacy and identity, and struggles like eating and sleeping problems. She also works with people facing burnout, ADHD challenges, and concerns tied to women's issues.

Her approach is direct and conversational. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps that can be tried between meetings. Bertha listens closely and helps people name patterns that get in the way of feeling better. She keeps language simple and looks for small changes that add up.

Bertha uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, and emotionally focused techniques. That combination helps people understand feelings, shift unhelpful thoughts, and improve how they connect with others. She also draws on EMDR when trauma memories need different ways of processing.

Clients can expect a collaborative process. Bertha helps set clear goals and reviews progress along the way. She offers coaching-style guidance when someone wants practical tools for life changes or career concerns.

She provides services in English and Spanish from Arizona and accepts international clients. Getting started usually means a short intake to identify needs and pick session times that fit a person's schedule.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client guide the process. The therapist reflects back what is said and helps people explore feelings so they can decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, looks at how emotional patterns shape relationships and helps people change how they respond to strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bertha will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. The plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked, so the client and therapist find what works best together.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in the moment and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and try different formats as needs change.
