Cynthia Fradl, LCSW

Cynthia Fradl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Cynthia also supports people managing mood disorders, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

She draws from several practical therapy methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment approaches, mindfulness practice, emotionally-focused work, and client-centered listening. Sessions tend to be interactive and focused on concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Cynthia avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.

Cynthia has worked in nonprofit agencies, hospital and clinical settings, and schools, so she is familiar with a range of care environments and long-term mental health needs. That background informs how she helps people cope with ongoing conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia while addressing everyday problems like workplace frustration or parenting strain.

In sessions she combines thinking-focused work with emotion-focused skills and present-moment awareness. That mix is aimed at helping people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and reduce reactivity. The therapist and client plan next steps together, and progress is checked in regular meetings.

People looking to address anger, communication breakdowns, chronic stress, or life transitions will find a practical, no-nonsense approach. To begin, follow the site's scheduling flow to match and book a first session.
