About Cynthia

Cynthia Wells is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and grief. She approaches each person with respect and sensitivity, and focuses on practical steps that can ease daily life. Her tone is straightforward and supportive for those ready to try something different.

With five years of clinical experience, Cynthia adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. She listens to what matters most and helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving mood, and managing overwhelming feelings related to loss, bipolar mood challenges, or past abuse.

Her work draws on a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavior strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and client-centered methods that keep the person's values at the center. Dialectical behavior techniques are used when strong emotions make day-to-day functioning hard. This blend lets Cynthia offer both hands-on tools and a steady, empathic presence.

People come for help with relationship struggles, parenting stress, career questions, addiction concerns, and attention difficulties among other problems. She is also available to support those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiving strain, or dissociation. The focus is on practical change rather than labels.

To begin, Cynthia asks clients to describe their main struggles and goals so she can tailor the plan. She works with people from many backgrounds and accepts international clients who can connect in English. Her Florida license is LMHC.

How Cynthia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for mood and anxiety management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal tools for strong emotions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia reviews your goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggests which methods to try. The client and therapist make adjustments over time so the plan fits real life and real constraints.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to use what is learned between meetings and to practice skills in everyday settings while still working with a licensed professional.
