About Cynthia
Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with over 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and parenting strains. Cynthia also addresses long-term mental health conditions and challenges related to relationships and life changes.
She uses straightforward, interactive sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and practical ways to respond. Cynthia draws on cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and emotionally-focused ideas. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people notice patterns and make small, useful changes.
Her background includes work in nonprofit settings, hospitals and schools. That variety shaped how she handles complex or layered problems, including co-morbidity and chronic illness. She has experience with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and supporting people through grief, caregiver stress, and blended family issues.
Cynthia helps people who are juggling parenting responsibilities, career pressures, and relationship tension. She pays attention to communication problems, codependency, and commitment concerns. The focus is on skills people can try between meetings and on building routines that fit everyday life.
Sessions are conducted in English and are led by a clinician who aims for direct, respectful conversation. If you want to explore whether this approach fits your situation, follow the site's booking steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Cynthia’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and testing small changes to reduce worry or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily routines.Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. Cynthia will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative selection means techniques can change as needs evolve, with practical exercises to test between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules demand. They can also let people use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or choose video for more face-to-face conversation. Ask about the exact session types offered so you can pick what works best for your routine and responsibilities.
