About Cynthia
Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the effects of past trauma. She uses a warm, interactive approach and aims to treat each person with respect and compassion. Cynthia does not rely on stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps that fit each person’s life.
She brings experience from nonprofit agencies, hospital and clinical settings, and schools.
Background and approach
That background informs how she tailors conversations and strategies to everyday challenges like work stress, parenting strain, sleep problems, and relationship difficulties. Cynthia also has experience supporting people with long-term mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Cynthia combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices.
In sessions she helps people identify what matters to them, notice patterns of thought and behavior, and try small experiments that can change how they feel and cope. The work is practical and collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all. She also supports people facing addictions, eating and sleeping struggles, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and career transitions.
Cynthia pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment issues, communication problems, and codependency when these come up in conversation. People who choose Cynthia can expect a straightforward, compassionate partner in therapy who helps set concrete goals and adapts tools to real-life demands. She invites those ready to take a step toward change to begin a conversation and explore what might help.

Online support
Emotion-focused and practical approaches for online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions, understand how feelings shape reactions, and build new ways of relating to themselves and others. It can be useful for processing attachment wounds, grief, and relationship patterns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values. It supports coping with anxiety, chronic stress, and life transitions by encouraging small actions that align with what matters to the person.
Client-centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, offering supportive listening and reflection so people feel understood and can make their own choices about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, client-centered methods, or a mix best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can shift as progress is made and circumstances change.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls allow conversational depth similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, reflection between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats offer flexibility for people with varied schedules across Oregon.
