Background and approach
She listens for strengths and builds on what already works in someones life. She draws from several familiar approaches to shape treatment to each person's needs. That means using conversations that help people notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of handling difficult thoughts and feelings.
She aims to make therapy useful and understandable. Over her career she has supported people after emotional, physical, and sexual trauma. She has also worked with concerns such as postpartum struggles, obsessive thoughts, relationship strain, parenting challenges, career transitions, and long-term mood conditions.
Cynthia holds licenses in Ohio and Arizona and sees clients based in Arizona. Sessions are offered in English. She frames therapy as a partnership where the person's goals guide what they try next.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that make daily life harder.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that align with their values. It can help with stress, mood shifts, and ongoing worries like ADHD-related frustration.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, adjusting techniques as goals and preferences evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while maintaining a steady course of care.
