Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Cynthia integrates evidence-informed approaches into remote sessions to address core emotional and relational concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can be especially helpful for issues like intimacy, abandonment, and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which supports coping with mood disorders, anxiety, and problem behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and needs, then tailors methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged and clear about the path forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be conducted by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during life transitions, and integrate therapy into daily routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
