About Cynthia

Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She blends cognitive-behavioral methods with acceptance-based and humanistic approaches to create individualized care.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, as well as long-term mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and related co-morbidities. Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental; she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

Cynthia has practiced in nonprofit organizations, hospital and clinical settings, and schools, and she tailors treatment plans to each person's circumstances and goals. She also includes mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques when they fit the client’s needs.

The profile notes ADHD among her areas of focus, and she integrates evidence-informed strategies into sessions rather than suggesting any guaranteed outcomes. Cynthia encourages people who are ready to make changes to take the first step and seek support.

She aims to empower clients by collaborating on practical tools and coping strategies that match their values and life priorities.

Evidence-Informed Therapies Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical steps for living in ways that reflect those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can support emotional regulation and resilience during challenging life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cynthia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She draws from ACT, CBT, and mindfulness strategies as needed, and adapts plans over time based on progress and feedback so the work remains practical and meaningful.

Online services are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow clients to engage from their own environments, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue care during life transitions while collaborating with a licensed professional to build coping skills and strategies that translate into everyday routines.
