About Cynthia

Cynthia Cox welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. She writes plainly and listens closely. Cynthia aims to make sessions feel manageable and straightforward, so parents can talk about stress, grief, parenting strain, or patterns that keep coming up.

Cynthia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Tennessee. She brings 11 years of experience to conversations about anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns.

Background and approach

Her goal is to help people find clearer steps forward rather than getting lost in labels. In sessions she uses practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and notice progress.

Sessions are about finding what works for each person and building small, usable tools. Cynthia works with individuals, adolescents, and people dealing with parenting challenges. She draws on years of experience in Tennessee to offer down-to-earth support during difficult times.

Her approach is collaborative, direct, and paced to fit the client’s needs. If someone is unsure how to begin, she encourages a simple first step: reach out, ask questions, and try a session to see how the fit feels. Cynthia aims to make therapy useful and accessible for everyday lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by offering clear steps to change thinking and routine behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for handling intense emotions and improving how people react in relationships. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can be helpful for anger and relationship struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Cynthia will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what helps most, so therapy stays focused and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues for a fuller conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can support quick updates or between-session work. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and family life while still using the same CBT, DBT, and mindfulness tools that guide in-person work.
