About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who draws on more than two decades of clinical experience. She uses a practical, person-focused style to help people sort through relationship strain, grief, anxiety, mood shifts, and substance concerns. Cynthia writes and speaks plainly in sessions so clients can make steady progress without confusing jargon.
She focuses on what matters day to day. That can mean building better communication, developing coping skills for stress and anger, or working through intimacy and parenting struggles.
Background and approach
She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, career stress, and challenges tied to trauma or compassion fatigue. Cynthia combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. She often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior tools to manage intense emotions.
The Gottman Method informs her work around relationship patterns and communication. Her approach is collaborative and goal oriented. Cynthia will help set clear, realistic steps and teach skills that can be used between sessions.
She encourages honest conversation and aims to create a calm space where people can try new ways of relating and coping. Sessions may address additional concerns such as ADHD, autism-related challenges, blended family dynamics, immigration stress, or recovery from domestic violence. Cynthia practices in Florida as an LMHC and brings 22 years of experience to her work.
How Cynthia's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment and creating a space where their concerns guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs steady support to tell their story and decide goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and everyday stress by giving clear tools to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will happen collaboratively. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust what they do based on what helps most. That partnership guides which methods are emphasized over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, homework check-ins, or working through a technique between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
