About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who draws on 22 years of clinical experience to help people navigate difficult life transitions and persistent concerns.
Background and approach
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed approaches to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build practical coping skills, and strengthen self-awareness. Her work addresses a broad range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, parenting challenges, stress and anger, addiction concerns, and attention-related struggles.
In sessions she combines evidence-informed methods with an empathic, collaborative stance, inviting clients to explore goals and choose strategies that fit their needs. Cynthia’s background also includes work with eating and sleeping issues, career questions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, plus additional focus areas such as blended family dynamics, communication problems, immigration-related stress, and isolation.
She encourages an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can experiment with new skills and track practical progress toward meaningful change.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties by teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms and improve functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating a space where clients set the pace and explore their values and goals while the therapist offers understanding and support. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may include skills practice, reflective conversation, or goal-focused planning based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These formats allow clients to receive consistent support from licensed professionals while using the communication mode that matches their comfort and logistical needs.
