About Cynthia
Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of hands-on experience. She offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on helping people move forward from hard moments. Her work emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion for each person she meets.
She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. She also supports those facing relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, career transitions, and the challenges of long-term conditions such as bipolar disorder. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is one area she lists among her focus topics.
Cynthia draws on practical approaches in sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. The conversation and plan are shaped to match what each person needs right now.
Her background includes work in nonprofit programs, hospital and clinical settings, and schools. That variety informs how she adapts treatment for different life situations and stressors. She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers the person rather than a diagnosis.
Cynthia describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people identify goals, try new ways of coping, and build daily habits that feel meaningful. If someone is ready to begin, she supports and encourages the next practical steps.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting after big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and trying small, practical experiments to change them. That approach often helps with anxiety, mood changes, and sleep or eating difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are; it supports building trust and self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and situation. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, combining elements of different approaches when that fits the person's priorities.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity of care after moving or when schedules change. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools so they work well in remote sessions, while keeping the focus on practical steps and real-life application.
