Approaches that guide online sessions and support
Cynthia uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so people can explore their feelings and values and build greater self-understanding - a useful fit for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.
She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers structured tools that can be applied between sessions to create measurable change.
Finally, Solution-Focused Therapy helps clients clarify goals and identify small, achievable steps toward improvement. It is action-oriented and can be especially helpful when people want brief, goal-driven work to address specific problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will discuss options with each person, tailoring methods to match their needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats support ongoing work in a way that adapts to practical life demands while maintaining therapeutic continuity.
