About Cynthia

Cynthia Colean is a licensed clinician who centers her practice on collaborative, evidence-informed work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for mood and anxiety regulation. Cynthia also uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes the person’s own perspective and strengths as the foundation for change.

With eight years of professional experience, Cynthia has supported clients navigating family conflicts, parenting challenges, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and post-traumatic stress. She affirms each client as the expert on their experience and focuses on building a respectful, supportive working relationship that encourages growth and problem-solving.

Cynthia is licensed in Kansas and holds credentials as LCPC and LPC, and she conducts sessions in English from her Kansas location.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it teaches skills like cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood dysregulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for the client's perspective, creating a supportive environment where personal insight and self-directed growth are encouraged.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be determined collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then tailor methods from CBT or a client-centered stance to match those needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and allow clients to connect from their own environments while maintaining regular contact and continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
