About Cynthia Marcolina

Cynthia Marcolina offers a gentle, collaborative approach to counseling designed to help clients feel comfortable and make meaningful progress. She blends humanistic, existential, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to create practical, personalized care that responds to each person’s needs. With thirty years of experience across diverse mental health settings, she has provided individual, marital, group, and family counseling for people of all ages and diagnoses.

In sessions she pairs conversation with hands-on tools - suggesting books, paper-and-pencil exercises, and creative activities - and frequently encourages clients to draw on their imaginative strengths to navigate difficult times. Her clinical focus includes improving self-talk and self-esteem, reducing anxiety, and teaching self-soothing strategies that can be used with or without medication. She frames therapy around present-moment work and active problem solving, emphasizing practical steps that promote empowerment.

Her practice is guided by simple principles captured in her guiding phrases: 'stay in the present it's the safest and most manageable place to be', 'work your problems instead of letting them work you', and 'focus on what you have control over to empower yourself'. Cynthia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a credential that indicates professional licensure in counseling. Namaste.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Cynthia Marcolina



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental connection in which the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people explore values, build self-understanding, and strengthen self-esteem through a collaborative relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns by testing and changing thinking and coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-focused awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation; it is often used alongside other techniques to help with stress and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cynthia works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so the plan fits each person’s changing needs and strengths.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options support consistent engagement with treatment and allow clients and licensed professionals to work together from different locations.
