About Cynthia

Cynthia Yanez offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling stuck by life’s painful patterns. They focus on helping clients untangle old assumptions and expectations that keep them from moving forward. Cynthia meets people where they are and works alongside them to make sense of emotional pain.

Sessions emphasize self-understanding and awareness as the engine for change. That means talking through past influences, current reactions, and what a person wants instead.

Background and approach

Cynthia blends insight-focused conversation with practical steps when useful, so sessions can include both reflection and action. With ten years of experience and a Florida-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW), Cynthia draws on a range of tools to address concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting challenges.

They also support people facing career concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and identity-related struggles including gender dysphoria and LGBT issues. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, fertility and immigration challenges, and topics related to alternative sexual cultures. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are designed to fit individual needs and goals.

Therapy can be done via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Cynthia helps clients identify steps they can take between sessions so progress continues outside of appointments.

Online support

How Cynthia's Approaches Work Online

Cynthia uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients direct the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people feel heard and builds clarity about what they want to change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is also part of the work when relationship patterns and attachment needs are central; EFT helps identify feelings and interaction cycles so people can try new ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on current struggles, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying different techniques and checking in regularly to see what's helpful and what should be adjusted.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to access from everyday life. Video calls let clients use visual cues for emotional work and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, between-session coaching, and flexible scheduling. These options help therapy fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on steady progress.
