About Cynthia

Cynthia Wells is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and grief. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s specific needs and circumstances.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while supporting clients through difficult transitions and emotional challenges. Cynthia integrates evidence-informed methods to address a wide range of concerns, from relationship and family tensions to issues like addiction, ADHD, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore practical strategies and personal values that guide change. Whether someone is navigating loss, managing mood symptoms, or rebuilding after trauma, she offers steady professional support and individualized care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by developing practical coping skills and structured exercises; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can aid with grief, trauma, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance to help people feel understood and empowered to explore their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and challenges. That collaborative exploration may combine elements from these approaches to create a personalized plan that feels like a good fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These formats support ongoing work on skills, check-ins between sessions, and convenient access to licensed professionals who can adapt methods like CBT and ACT to remote settings.
