About Cyndi
Cyndi Cynthia Oberdan is a licensed clinical social worker who brings nine years of professional experience to her practice in Florida. She focuses on practical goals and steady progress, helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship problems, parenting strain, depression, and life transitions. She aims to make therapy feel straightforward and doable for busy lives.
Her background includes work with people who have intellectual disabilities and autism, and she ran programs to build life and social skills.
Background and approach
She has experience in child welfare and worked as a medical social worker in hospitals and outpatient clinics. That work shaped her skills at crisis intervention, case management, and short-term counseling. In sessions she uses a client-centered approach and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful.
She also uses mindfulness practices and elements of the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns. The goal is practical tools you can use between sessions to manage day-to-day challenges. Cyndi tends to focus on strengths first and then build routines that reduce stress and improve sleep, focus, and mood.
She offers coaching-style support for career questions and life purpose as well as therapeutic work for trauma, addiction, and grief. People who choose her often want clear steps and steady support rather than long, abstract talk. She works with each person to set small, achievable goals and to measure progress along the way.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Many of her sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and building interpersonal skills. DBT-style tools can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships keep repeating the same patterns.
Client-centered work is woven through both approaches, meaning the therapist listens closely to each person's priorities and adapts methods to fit their life. Together they decide which approach or mix of techniques best match the client's needs, goals, and preferences in an open, collaborative way.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions let you work face to face from wherever you are, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat work well for quick check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily routines without extra travel time.
