About Cynthia

Cynthia Moses is a licensed social worker practicing in Missouri who focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, trauma and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

She brings a collaborative, client-centered stance to sessions and helps clients set realistic, achievable goals while working alongside them to reduce obstacles that interfere with progress. Cynthia’s practice addresses both everyday challenges like career and parenting stress and more complex issues such as bipolar disorder, addictions, eating concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Her style emphasizes warmth, partnership, and respect for each person’s life experience. Cynthia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with dialectical and narrative-informed approaches to help clients examine patterns, reframe thinking, and build practical skills for emotion regulation and communication.

With three years of documented experience and dual licensure noted as KS LSCSW 1887 and MO LCSW 006152, she offers a supportive space for adults and adolescents seeking change. Cynthia honors clients’ courage in beginning therapy and aims to empower them to find clearer paths forward through focused work and shared problem solving.

Approaches for online work and practical strategies

CBT is a skills-focused approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist supports clients as they explore goals and find their own solutions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy combines acceptance with change-oriented skills training to improve emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people facing intense emotions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and the nature of the concerns presented, adapting methods as needed so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model of care.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increase flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between appointments, and convenient access to a licensed professional while allowing clients to choose the communication style that suits their daily life.
