About Cinthia
Cinthia Bernal is an LPC who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship problems. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Arizona. Her approach is practical and direct, focused on small changes that add up to better daily functioning.
She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice patterns of thought and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about repairing trust and deepening connection when relationships are strained.
Her practice includes work around trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges like addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and anger. She also supports people coping with life changes, career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and isolation. Sessions aim to build coping skills and increase motivation for healthy choices.
With 17 years as a licensed professional counselor, she focuses on clear goals and small, achievable steps. She often uses motivational interviewing to help people find what matters most and commit to change. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing may be part of work with traumatic memories when appropriate.
