About Bertha

Bertha Beltran is a licensed clinical social worker in Arizona with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-based methods to help clients unpack difficult emotions, improve communication, and build practical coping strategies for day-to-day life. Bertha emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental approach that encourages honest exploration of thoughts and feelings while honoring each person’s pace and priorities.

Her practice includes attention to issues such as intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, as well as related concerns like attachment wounds, chronic illness, isolation, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports clients navigating gender dysphoria, LGBT matters, women’s issues, and questions of life purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients, using flexible formats to fit varied schedules and needs.

Integrating proven approaches for online healing

Bertha combines Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients explore internal parts and change unhelpful patterns. Internal Family Systems invites people to gently meet and understand different inner parts - such as protective or wounded parts - which can be useful for trauma, chronic anxiety, and ongoing relational patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers clear, practical tools to identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, making it helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Bertha works with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the plan over time based on what is most helpful in sessions.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or different communication comfort levels. These options allow clients to continue therapeutic work from wherever they are while exploring approaches that match their pace and priorities.
