About Cynthia Boyle
Cynthia Boyle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Iowa with 15 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of concerns. She blends a client-centered stance - offering empathy, authenticity, and respect for each person's lived experience - with practical therapeutic tools to help clients manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, and issues related to neurodiversity and chronic health conditions.
Her clinical work includes experience with autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, and co-occurring mental health challenges, and she brings both professional training and personal insight to supporting parents and caregivers. Cynthia regularly draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each client's learning style and goals. For couples she often integrates research-based strategies from the Gottman approach along with other relational models to strengthen communication and connection.
Cynthia approaches therapy as a partnership, adapting interventions to fit individual needs rather than adhering to a single method. She also has interests in counseling ethics, personality disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, and animal-assisted therapy, and has presented on these topics at professional gatherings. Her work emphasizes practical skills, collaborative planning, and compassionate support as clients navigate change and build resilience.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes building a collaborative, respectful relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead - this approach helps clients feel understood and supports self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts and building concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be especially useful for strong emotions and relationship difficulties.Cynthia will work collaboratively to determine which approaches fit best with a client's needs, goals, and preferences, combining elements from different models as appropriate. Finding the right therapeutic mix is part of the process and is adjusted over time based on what helps the client make meaningful progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can engage from home, work, or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are not practical.
