About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 22 years of experience. She emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered way of working that helps people name problems and set clear goals. Cynthia speaks plain language in sessions and aims to help people find practical steps they can use right away.
She uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods guide how she helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. Cynthia also lists codependency, grief, parenting, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and body image among many focus areas she can address.
Cynthia draws on two decades of clinical work to tailor the pace and focus of sessions. She helps people build self-awareness, learn coping skills, and practice new habits that fit daily life. Expect straightforward feedback, guided exercises, and skill practice between meetings when helpful.
The LMHC credential indicates licensure in Florida. Cynthia works with people navigating major life changes, persistent mood concerns, relationship and intimacy challenges, and career or parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping issues, compassion fatigue, and impulsivity.
She invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to come ready to set concrete goals. The therapist emphasizes respect, nonjudgment, and a steady focus on helping clients move toward clearer choices and improved routines.
How Cynthia’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
The client-centered approach focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It supports people by building self-awareness and by helping them identify goals and next steps that feel achievable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, manage depression, change unhelpful habits, and address sleep or eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who struggle with impulsivity, intense anger, or patterns that lead to relationship conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying a skill-focused plan for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let people use guided exercises or mindfulness practice between sessions. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed or longer sessions for deeper work, depending on what is offered.
