About Cynthia
Cynthia Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She also helps with codependency, parenting strains, intimacy-related worries, career challenges, and coping with life changes. Cynthia speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable for people from different backgrounds.
Cynthia uses a warm, interactive style in sessions. She focuses on respectful, nonjudgmental conversation and tailors each plan to the person in front of her. Sessions often include practical strategies for day-to-day problems and space to process painful experiences like trauma or loss.
Her clinical approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered principles. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and build actions that match those values. Mindfulness skills are used to help regulate stress and stay present when emotions feel overwhelming.
Cynthia has three years of counseling experience and has worked in inpatient treatment and programs for specialized populations. She has experience with crisis intervention, stabilization, and coordinating care with other health professionals. Those experiences inform her calm and organized way of guiding conversations.
People who choose Cynthia can expect practical goal-setting, clear steps between sessions, and compassionate listening. She encourages people to take gradual steps toward change and supports them through setbacks. If someone is ready to begin, Cynthia helps them map out next steps and reasonable first goals.
How her approaches fit into online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings show up. It can be useful for codependency, grief, and coping with life changes by shifting attention to meaningful action rather than avoiding discomfort.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful for their goals and preferences. She adapts plans over time, checking in about what helps and what may need a change.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules and helpful when they want consistent weekly check-ins. Others choose different arrangements when they need a shorter phone check-in or when video feels like a better fit for their goals. Cynthia aims to help clients match session rhythms to everyday life rather than force a fixed routine.
