About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings 22 years of counseling experience to her practice and focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, and similar concerns. Cynthia is experienced supporting people with ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She uses practical talk therapy methods and goal-focused work to help clients make steady progress. Cynthia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and tailor sessions to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when they fit the situation.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions often involve identifying clear goals, learning new skills, and practicing small behavior changes between meetings. She also addresses wider life factors such as career stress, parenting pressures, and challenges tied to immigration or blended families.
Cynthia emphasizes building self-awareness and usable strategies. Many clients work on coping skills for anger, sleep, eating concerns, and impulsivity. She also supports recovery from domestic violence, separation, and other major life changes.
People who choose her work with a therapist who values learning and practical tools. The aim is steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes. Cynthia invites prospective clients to reflect on goals before beginning and to discuss which methods feel most helpful to them.
How Cynthia’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to each person’s needs, helping clients name their goals and feel understood. This approach supports work on relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, and general life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and managing stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new needs appear.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone join from a quieter location or choose sessions that better match their schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to an online setting so progress continues between appointments.
