About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work. She takes a practical, down-to-earth approach and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges around relationships and parenting. Sessions aim to clarify problems, set realistic goals, and build strategies that can be used day to day.
Her style centers on meeting people where they are and tailoring methods to individual needs.
Background and approach
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds tools for emotion regulation and better coping under pressure.
Cynthia draws on a broad range of concerns she has worked with, including addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and sleep or eating issues. She also addresses more specific topics like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, immigration-related stress, and blended family challenges. Her experience in Florida informs her local perspective.
In sessions she focuses on clear steps people can use between meetings. Conversations tend to be straightforward, with an emphasis on skill-building and small, measurable changes. She collaborates with clients to choose the approach that fits their goals and comfort level.
People who come for help can expect a supportive environment where they are heard and helped to develop tools. Cynthia emphasizes practical strategies that begin to make a difference quickly while also working toward longer-term growth.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It creates space for people to say what matters most and helps the therapist shape sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping in high-stress moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Decisions are made together, and the plan can be adjusted as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions remove travel time. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings and to get support when homework or skills practice comes up. These options let people fit therapy into their schedule while still working with 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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
