About Bertha
Bertha Beltran is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She offers straightforward support for parenting strain, intimacy questions, eating and sleeping problems, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Bertha speaks English and Spanish and practices from Arizona with 15 years of experience.
Bertha keeps sessions direct and warm. She creates a space where people can say what they are feeling without judgment.
How Bertha works
Conversations focus on practical steps and understanding how current patterns developed. She often blends client-centered talk with tools to change thinking and behavior. Her background includes working with trauma, attachment and abandonment wounds, and grief from chronic illness or disability.
She also supports people facing gender dysphoria, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. When concerns involve intimacy or LGBT issues, she aims to listen closely and help clarify goals. Bertha uses a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused work, EMDR, and motivational interviewing.
That variety helps her tailor sessions to what each person needs right now. She helps set achievable goals and checks progress as therapy continues. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
Bertha offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose a format that fits their daily life.

Approaches for online work and what to expect
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions and improve how they relate to others, which can be helpful for relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bertha will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit best. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let a therapist and client see facial expressions and body language for deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work or a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around life demands.
