About Bertha
Bertha Beltran is an Arizona-based licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and sleep difficulties. She talks plainly with clients and aims to build an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can say what is on their minds. She acknowledges how hard it can be to start therapy and offers steady support for that first step.
In sessions she focuses on understanding what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and works with clients to try small, practical changes. Conversations may include coping skills for anxiety, steps to improve sleep, and ways to handle difficult emotions after trauma.
Bertha uses approaches that center the person, such as client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also draws on emotionally-focused methods to look at important relationships and on EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help people set clear goals and try doable next steps.
Clients can expect straightforward talk, honest feedback, and collaborative planning. Bertha offers services in English and Spanish and accepts clients from outside the United States. She works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, eating and intimacy issues, ADHD, chronic pain and life transitions.
To begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Payment follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. In online sessions this means the therapist creates space for people to describe what is hardest and then follows their pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Online CBT often includes setting small experiments, practicing skills between sessions, and checking progress together to improve sleep, anxiety, or mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps people process traumatic memories in a structured way. When EMDR is considered, the therapist explains the steps and works collaboratively to decide if it fits the client's needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients choose methods based on their goals, preferences, and current challenges. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for appointments. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency while working on sleep, stress, relationships, and recovery from trauma.
