About Cynthia
Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and changes in their lives. She uses a warm, interactive style and focuses on treating each person with respect and compassion. Cynthia avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood.
Her background includes work in nonprofits, hospital and clinical settings, and schools. That variety has exposed her to many kinds of challenges, from grief and relationship strain to long-term mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Cynthia draws on this experience when she helps people sort through practical next steps and daily coping skills.
She blends several approaches in session, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emotionally-focused methods, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversations that move toward manageable goals rather than abstract theory. Dialog and plans are tailored to each person’s needs.
Cynthia also helps with issues that touch daily life, such as sleep problems, eating concerns, parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness, and career questions. She lists ADHD, codependency, communication problems, and attachment issues among areas she addresses.
People meet her in Oregon and sessions are conducted in English. The therapist encourages anyone ready to take a step toward change to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on practical changes and clear steps.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. This approach is helpful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and life transitions.
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, using empathy and active listening to help clarify goals and priorities. It supports self-directed change alongside skills-based work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adjust the focus as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone choose a session that does not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to help people practice skills between sessions and keep momentum toward their goals.
