About Cynthia
Cynthia earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University. Over her career she has worked in a range of settings with people facing trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD. Her background includes work with individuals dealing with intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and coaching needs.
In the therapy room she focuses on practical, workable steps. She uses methods like cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people are making changes related to addictions or behavior shifts.
Cynthia keeps the process straightforward. Sessions center on what the person wants to change and how to move toward those goals. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and can try new ways of coping.
Her work is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday pressures. People who want a clear plan and an empathic listener may find her style helpful for managing life transitions and relationship-related concerns.
How Cynthia Uses Approaches Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking that make problems worse and then try concrete ways to change those thought and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist - listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions to relationship or life problems. It helps when someone wants an empathic space to talk through difficult feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort. She will suggest practical tools and check in regularly to see what is working and what needs adjustment.
