How Cynthia’s approaches work in online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm in daily life. These exercises support people coping with stress, chronic pain, or strong emotions.Cynthia also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person in front of her. That means listening closely, reflecting what matters, and shaping the work around each person’s goals. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or mix of approaches feels most helpful and make adjustments as progress is made.
Check session options before booking so you know what formats are currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It also lets people keep working with the same licensed professional across different locations. Cynthia will help tailor sessions to your needs, balancing skill practice, short-term goals, and longer-term personal work.
