Background and approach
She treats therapy as a partnership and works with each person to set realistic goals. Her aim is to remove obstacles so clients can see their own solutions. Cynthia uses a mix of approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and narrative methods.
That lets her tailor sessions to the problem at hand - whether that is emotional regulation, changing unhelpful thinking, or making sense of painful experiences. Her background includes long experience in independent practice and work across different settings. Cynthia holds KS LSCSW 1887 and MO LCSW 006152 and practices in Missouri.
She has supported people through grief, abuse recovery, relationship repair, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps. Cynthia helps people practice new skills between meetings and tracks progress toward goals.
Her approach balances practical tools with attention to feelings and life stories.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect. In an online session CBT can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and changing unhelpful thinking by practicing skills and tracking small changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. It can be useful for intense emotions, anger, and problems with impulse control by teaching concrete coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining CBT tools with mindfulness practice or drawing on narrative techniques to reframe life events. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, homework support, or days when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using evidence-informed methods.
