About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns like relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Her practice also addresses issues such as trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related problems, and coping with life changes.
Cynthia uses straightforward, goal-focused sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what a person brings to the room and to help them voice their priorities. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and impulsivity. The Gottman Method informs her work on relationship communication and interaction patterns.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions involve talking through current challenges, setting clear goals, and practicing skills between meetings. She often uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation. Cynthia also brings experience with blended family issues, immigration-related stress, body image concerns, and codependency.
She encourages measurable steps and regular review of progress. Clients can expect focused conversations, skill-building exercises, and coaching-style guidance when needed. The overall aim is to reduce distress and increase day-to-day coping so people can handle parenting pressures, career stress, or difficult life transitions more effectively.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Florida LMHC standards. Cynthia asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session so initial goals are clear.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps clarify priorities and bring forward the issues someone wants to address in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to spot and change thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety, depression, or parenting stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and day-to-day needs. That may mean mixing CBT skills, DBT strategies, and client-led discussion across sessions to see what fits best.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can support practicing skills in real life between appointments and keeps the focus on clear goals, communication exercises, and step-by-step coping strategies.
