About Bertha
Bertha Beltran is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Arizona with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as parenting and intimacy. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults who bring household and parenting stresses into therapy.
Beltran keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people name what is hardest. She uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and from emotionally-focused work to look at how relationships unfold. EMDR is also part of her approach for people coping with traumatic memories.
In a visit with her, clients can expect straightforward conversation about current problems and small, practical steps to try between sessions. She also draws on motivational interviewing when people need help deciding what to change and how to start. Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and planning for real-life situations like parenting strains or work stress.
Her background includes a mix of clinical settings over 15 years where she worked with people on depression, grief, anger, and challenges around identity and gender. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns that affect how people relate at home. Spanish speakers can work with her in their preferred language.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps people talk through relationship tensions, parenting stress, or grief by focusing on their experience and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Bertha treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked before, and then suggest options to try together. Progress is checked regularly and methods are adjusted based on how the client responds.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a weekday break, avoiding travel time, and using shorter check-ins when days are busy. Online sessions can also make it easier to continue work through life changes and to schedule meetings across time zones for international clients.
