About Bertha
Bertha Beltran is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues. Bertha speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small, testable changes rather than long explanations. Bertha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered conversations to identify patterns that keep problems going and steps to change them.
Bertha also incorporates emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings and connection affect difficulties in relationships and intimacy. For some people she uses techniques that address traumatic memories with an emphasis on reducing their hold on daily life. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when clients want focused goals and short-term progress.
In a typical session she talks through current problems, helps set concrete goals, and suggests exercises to try between meetings. She pays attention to practical barriers like sleep, eating, and daily routines that affect mood and coping. Sessions are kept clear and goal-oriented so people can try new responses and track what works.
People who come for work on career, self-esteem, anger, ADHD-related struggles, or life transitions will find structured options to explore next steps. Bertha helps with issues tied to gender dysphoria, abandonment and attachment concerns, chronic illness and pain, and post-traumatic stress when those topics arise.
How her approaches translate to online work
Bertha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT sessions tend to focus on concrete exercises, homework, and step-by-step changes that can be practiced between meetings. She also uses client-centered work that emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can clarify goals and priorities.Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used when relationship or intimacy issues come up, helping people notice how emotions shape interactions and reconnect with what matters to them. Where trauma is a focus, methods aimed at processing traumatic memories can be introduced carefully, with attention to pacing and stabilization before memory work.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean prioritizing CBT exercises for daily symptom management, or shifting to emotionally-focused or trauma-related techniques as trust and goals develop.

Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins that fit a workday. It also makes it straightforward to continue consistent, structured work on sleep, routine, and goal-setting from wherever a quieter time is available.
