About Cynthia

Dr. Cynthia White is a licensed counselor with seven years of clinical experience. She practices in Mississippi and holds LPC, MD, and LCPC credentials.

She works with parents and families around issues like parenting, relationships, trauma, depression, and ADHD. Her approach is straightforward and practical. She aims to make sessions a calm place to talk through concerns.

She focuses on clear communication and concrete steps parents can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Sessions cover topics such as communication problems, guilt and shame, jealousy, and multicultural concerns. Dr. White uses a mix of methods to fit each family.

She draws on client-centered work to listen and build trust. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try different reactions. When trauma is involved, she incorporates trauma-focused ideas to address painful memories safely.

She offers therapy in several online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Cost varies by location and therapist availability.

Parents who reach out complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. The goal is practical support for parenting challenges and relationship strain. Dr.

White aims to help families find clearer communication and more manageable routines.

Approaches for families and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and making the family feel heard. It helps parents talk through worries and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete changes. It is useful for depression, ADHD-related challenges, and shifting reactive responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the family about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they try methods and adjust plans so the work fits the household and daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit help around school, work, and family routines. They also let parents check in between appointments and try tools in real time with guidance from a licensed professional.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
