About Bertha
Bertha Beltran helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Arizona with 15 years of practice and speaks English and Spanish. Her work also covers concerns like ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy struggles, and career questions.
Bertha uses a straightforward style in sessions. She aims to make the conversation feel calm and nonjudgmental. Clients can expect to talk through immediate worries and practical steps to feel better between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on methods that focus on the person and on changing unhelpful patterns. She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work. For people who carry traumatic memories, she also uses EMDR-informed methods and motivational interviewing to help find forward momentum.
She sees therapy as a collaborative process. Bertha helps people sort priorities, try small changes, and track what helps over time. She pays attention to how relationships, attachment, and past losses shape current stress and coping.
Bertha has worked across settings during her 15 years in the field. She aims to make sessions practical and grounded in everyday life. If someone prefers Spanish, she can hold sessions in that language to support clearer communication.
Approach-driven care for online sessions
Bertha blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of emotionally-focused work to guide sessions online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person in the room and aims to make conversations feel heard and respected, helping people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior and testing small changes that can reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns, which can be useful for addressing attachment wounds and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bertha will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in about what is working, adjusts techniques, and helps set clear, achievable goals together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues matter and for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are handy for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or brief skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
