About Cynthia

Cynthia Wells is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and bipolar concerns. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Cynthia aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

With five years of professional experience, she adapts conversations and care to fit each individual’s needs. Sessions are shaped around what a person is facing now, whether that is trauma and abuse, addictive behavior, relationship strain, parenting stress, or work and career pressures.

Cynthia uses practical, evidence-informed tools to help people build skills for daily life. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and emotion-focused techniques to improve important connections.

Her work also includes attention to issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, body image, codependency, and communication breakdowns. She helps people strengthen coping strategies, set sustainable goals, and handle life transitions without judgment.

People who prefer a collaborative tone and straightforward goals may find this style helpful. Cynthia explains options clearly and tailors plans to each person’s pace. To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals and then schedules a time to start short-term or ongoing work.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to them. It often supports clients facing anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing on values and small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning; it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships by teaching grounding, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Cynthia works with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and useful for everyday life.

Confirm available session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy schedule easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, let someone avoid being on camera for part of a meeting, or provide more flexible timing around work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals, including therapists, use these formats to provide consistent care and practical strategies that can be applied between sessions.
