About Cynthia
Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and long-term mental health challenges such as bipolar disorder.
She has worked in nonprofits, hospital and clinical settings, and schools. Cynthia uses concrete, talk-based sessions that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice patterns and make practical changes.
Her sessions address sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and career or life transitions. She also supports people coping with addiction, anger, commitment and communication issues, and the impact of chronic pain or illness. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns and personality-related difficulties.
Cynthia favors an interactive style that emphasizes respect and direct conversation. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works with clients to set clear, achievable goals. Expect session work that includes identifying thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and using mindfulness to manage strong feelings.
People who choose her often want practical techniques for day-to-day challenges alongside space to talk through losses or trauma. The focus is on steps people can try between sessions and adapting approaches to what actually helps in their lives.
How Cynthia Uses CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing reactions to stress by practicing concrete skills.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It supports values-based action when life changes, grief, or chronic health issues make decisions harder.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s own goals and experience. It involves open conversation and reflective listening to clarify what the client wants to change and how to move toward that in day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Cynthia will work with clients to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust plans based on what helps in practice. The therapist and client decide together which strategies to prioritize.
