About Cynthia

Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, relationship problems, and long-term mental health challenges.

Her work began in nonprofit programs and moved into hospital clinics and school settings. That variety shaped a straightforward, interactive style. Sessions focus on practical conversations that address immediate problems and daily functioning.

She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and change patterns that make symptoms worse. Mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies are used to build tolerance for difficult feelings. Emotion-focused and client-centered approaches guide conversations about relationships and attachment.

Cynthia has experience supporting people managing bipolar disorder and schizophrenia as long-term challenges. She also helps with parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, addiction concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or life transitions.

She prefers working without relying on stigmatizing labels. In sessions she listens, asks direct questions, and offers tools to try between meetings. Her aim is to help people take steps that are manageable in daily life.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process is pragmatic and paced to fit real schedules and responsibilities.

BHow sessions work

How Cynthia’s approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and stress management.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, while clarifying personal values and taking action that matters. It can help with chronic pain, trauma responses, and larger life changes.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Cynthia will discuss what feels most useful, try approaches in session, and adjust based on how strategies fit the person's goals and daily routine.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some approaches translate well to sessions that include practical homework, guided mindfulness exercises, and focused skill practice between meetings.
