Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work; it helps people who want to explore identity, relationships, and life meaning while building self-acceptance and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping under pressure.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cynthia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches to match individual needs and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, consistent access to a licensed professional, and multiple ways to communicate so therapy can fit into a client’s life more smoothly.
