Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cynthia’s work draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-direction - it is helpful for life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, then practicing practical strategies to shift those patterns; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behavior.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Cynthia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on goals, preferences, and needs. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
