About Cynthia

Cynthia Wells is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. Cynthia also assists people dealing with relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, addiction, anger, self-esteem, attention difficulties, and life changes.

Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and practical skills. She uses evidence-based methods to help people manage symptoms and make small changes that fit day-to-day life. Sessions usually focus on coping strategies, communication, and steps a person can try between meetings.

Cynthia draws on several therapy styles, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These methods guide how she structures meetings, handles intense emotions, and builds problem-solving plans.

She aims to be attentive and respectful in sessions, listening for what matters most to each person and adjusting the pace as needed. When grief, trauma, or mood instability are present, she balances emotional processing with practical stabilization skills. For parenting or family-related stress she helps people identify manageable changes and clearer communication patterns.

People who prefer direct, pragmatic work that still allows space for feelings may find her style a good fit. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take reachable steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where a person wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which techniques fit that person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying tools in sessions and adjusting them between meetings based on what helps.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people choose online counseling because it can fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Online sessions also make it easier to practice skills in real-life settings and to continue work from different locations when needed.
