About Bertha
Bertha Beltran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona with 15 years of practice. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also works with concerns related to LGBT issues, intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.
Beltran uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to support emotional understanding and clearer communication. She also integrates EMDR and Motivational Interviewing where appropriate. Sessions focus on identifying feelings, naming patterns, and trying small changes that can shift how people relate to themselves and others.
Her style is straightforward. She encourages honest talk about feelings and worries. She helps people notice how emotions shape their choices and relationships, and then practices different ways of responding.
Beltran works with both English and Spanish speakers. Her Arizona licensure is listed as AZ LCSW. Over 15 years she has seen a wide range of issues from trauma recovery to coping with chronic pain and life purpose questions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and tracking emotions and attachment patterns. It helps when relationship patterns and hard-to-name feelings get in the way of connection or personal wellbeing. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client’s perspective. It supports people who need a steady, non-directive space to talk things through. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, Client-Centered work, CBT techniques, or another method fits best for their goals and situation. That choice can change over time as progress and preferences become clearer.
Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from wherever they are located. For people juggling work, caregiving, or mobility limits, this can make starting and continuing therapy more practical while still focusing on emotions and relationship patterns.
