About Cynthia
She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside trauma-responsive methods to help people manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelming reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of her toolkit for shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions emphasize clear, doable strategies rather than jargon.
Cindi aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where clients can describe their struggles and build on their strengths. She treats each person as the expert in their own life while offering guidance and structure. The goal is steady progress, not perfect solutions.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, self-esteem, anger, burnout and compassion fatigue, bipolar and other mood disorders, ADHD, and issues related to divorce and separation. Intellectual disability appears among the areas she focuses on and she brings long-term experience to complex presentations.
People who seek her help can expect a direct, compassionate style. The emphasis is on what can be done between sessions and on realistic steps toward improved day-to-day functioning. Cindi encourages small, concrete changes that add up over time.

Step 3
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out different ways of thinking and behaving. It helps with anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems by giving clear exercises and practice tasks.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationships. It is useful when strong mood swings or overwhelming feelings get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not stated here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone join from a quieter place or use audio-only if video is difficult. Ask about available formats when you start so sessions match your routine and goals.
