About Bertha
Bertha Beltran is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She works with clients who are coping with trauma, relationship strain, intimacy issues, and life changes. Bertha offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and speaks both English and Spanish.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps that people can use right away. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals.
Background and approach
Techniques come from approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused strategies tailored to each situation. Bertha has a background supporting people through grief, post-traumatic stress, and chronic illness. She also helps people facing identity questions, gender dysphoria, and LGBTQ concerns.
Her practice includes attention to communication problems, attachment and abandonment wounds, and coping with compassion fatigue. Clients can expect a collaborative style that blends problem-solving with emotional processing. Bertha uses motivation-based conversations to help people find their own reasons for change.
EMDR is one tool she may bring in for trauma-related symptoms when appropriate. She offers sessions in Arizona and accepts international clients. Scheduling is flexible and formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Bertha aims to make it straightforward for parents and individuals to begin work on the issues that matter most.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches simple skills to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable. Together they will decide whether to lean on conversational, skills-based, or emotionally focused methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or ongoing notes between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule or when travel is difficult.
