About Cinthia
Cinthia Bernal is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, grief, and money and financial issues. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 17 years of counseling experience to conversations about self-esteem, coping with life changes, addiction concerns, and career or work stress.
Cinthia focuses on clear, practical conversations. She helps people name what feels hard, set small goals, and try steps that make daily life easier. Sessions are direct but warm, and she aims to help clients feel more confident about their choices and relationships.
Her background includes many years supporting people through relationship repair, communication problems, and rebuilding trust after infidelity or conflict. She has worked with trauma and abuse survivors and uses techniques that address painful memories alongside present-day coping skills.
Cinthia uses a mix of approaches depending on the person and the problem. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s pace, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful patterns, and emotion-focused methods to strengthen important relationships.
She also uses trauma-focused tools when memories or intense reactions get in the way of daily life. Cinthia aims to collaborate with each person to find realistic steps forward, whether the focus is on family issues, sleep and eating concerns, or managing anger and isolation.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Cinthia commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s pace to set goals and solve problems. This approach helps with general life stress, motivation, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing anger. And she draws on emotionally focused therapy to help people improve communication and rebuild emotional connection in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cinthia will discuss what matters most to the client, try approaches that fit the goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist choose the best fit over time.
