Background and approach
Cynthia has long experience across settings, including work in juvenile justice providing individual and group counseling. That work has involved supporting young people with probation goals and helping them build social and coping skills. Cynthia draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's goals and strengths.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to set achievable steps.
Cynthia adapts her approach to each client's needs, combining methods rather than using a single technique. Her experience covers depression, trauma, substance issues, bipolar disorder, grief, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, and relationship problems. Cynthia aims to make therapy straightforward and useful, helping people practice small changes that add up over time.
How Cynthia’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. Online sessions let Cynthia follow a client's lead while keeping the work practical and goal oriented.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. In remote sessions Cynthia can coach thought records, homework, and real-time problem solving that clients practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills provide tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and managing impulsivity; these skills can be taught and rehearsed over video or messaging so clients have concrete strategies when they need them.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. She works with clients to find tools and routines that fit daily life rather than sticking to one method.
Online formats include video calls for full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, live chat for focused exchanges, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, different comfort levels with being on camera, and quick access to brief check-ins or skill reminders.
