About Cynthia

Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience offering a warm, interactive therapy style. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, anger, and life changes. Her approach aims to respect each person and avoid stigmatizing labels.

She uses practical methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness, and client-centered work. Sessions focus on clear goals such as managing strong emotions, improving sleep and eating patterns, and handling career or parenting strain.

Background and approach

Cynthia adapts the plan to what each person needs most. Her background includes work in nonprofits, hospitals and school settings. That range has exposed her to trauma, long-term mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and complicated medical or caregiving stress.

Those experiences shape how she talks through problems and sets realistic steps forward. Cynthia often combines emotion-focused ideas with behavioral skills. That mix helps people understand patterns, practice different responses, and notice what matters most.

She emphasizes compassion for setbacks while encouraging steady progress. People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation about coping strategies, values, and practical next steps. The aim is to help someone feel more able to manage difficult feelings and move toward a life that fits their priorities.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and anger when someone wants to change how they respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes. It is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep or eating problems, and coping with life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace of work. This approach can help people feel heard and build the confidence to try new coping skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions usually include some practical skill-building and a plan to check what is working.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for emotion-focused work, phone calls can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and text options support quick check-ins or ongoing reflections. These formats make it easier to get consistent support while juggling daily life.
