About Cynthia

Cynthia Colean uses a client-centered approach to guide parents and families through hard moments. She starts by listening closely and helping people name the problems that matter to them. Her way of working focuses on each person’s strengths and practical steps they can try between meetings.

Cynthia is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC and also holds a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC credential. She has eight years of experience supporting people in Kansas.

Background and approach

Her background includes helping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. In sessions she blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she pays attention to a person’s goals and feelings, while also teaching concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

She uses these methods to address mood problems, communication trouble, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Parents often come for help with family conflict and parenting challenges. Cynthia helps families talk about what isn’t working and try different ways of handling everyday situations.

She focuses on small, useful changes that can make routines run more smoothly. Cynthia encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard. She meets people where they are and works with them at a steady, realistic pace.

The aim is clearer communication, less overwhelm, and routines that feel more manageable.

How Cynthia’s approaches work online

Client-centered therapy begins with listening closely and following the client’s lead. The therapist focuses on understanding what matters most and helps people use their own strengths to solve problems. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe space to sort out feelings or family tensions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve communication. CBT is often chosen when someone wants step-by-step tools to manage stress and mood symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. From that conversation she helps decide whether to emphasize listening and reflection, skills practice, or a mix of both. Online formats give flexible ways to keep therapy going. Video calls let the therapist see and hear families in real time, while phone sessions offer a simpler option. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins possible between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
