Cynthia Fradl

Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. She brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and aims to treat each person with respect and compassion. Cynthia avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps people can use in day-to-day life.

Her approach mixes mindfulness, acceptance strategies, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and client-centered conversation. Cynthia adapts talks and plans to each person’s needs, working side by side to set realistic goals. She uses straightforward language and helps people practice skills they can use between visits.

Cynthia has worked across nonprofit programs, hospital and clinical settings, and schools. That variety has shaped how she supports people facing long-term conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, as well as those coping with trauma, addiction, sleep problems, and chronic illness. She also helps people navigating career shifts, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and blended family issues.

In sessions she focuses on building strengths, improving communication, and developing healthier routines. Cynthia also pays attention to how past attachment or abandonment issues might affect current relationships. Her goal is to help people find practical ways to feel more steady and capable.

If someone is ready to begin, she works collaboratively to create a plan and supports follow-through between sessions. Cynthia’s style centers on empathy, clear guidance, and helping people regain a sense of control over their lives.

How Cynthia Uses Mindfulness and ACT Online

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills that help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and for grounding after trauma. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines noticing difficult thoughts with choosing actions that match personal values, which helps when people are coping with life changes or chronic conditions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize mindfulness practice, ACT strategies, or client-centered conversation, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, provide shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion and adjustment.
