About Cybele

Cybele Blood is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She aims to create a space where clients feel heard and respected.

Background and approach

Cybele emphasizes practical skills that people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more capable. She draws on fourteen years of professional experience and a background in massage therapy to blend mind-body awareness with talk-based work.

Cybele often uses the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern, and she also works with trauma-focused techniques and somatic approaches to help people reconnect with their bodies after distress. Sessions focus on building coping tools, improving communication, and addressing compassion fatigue and burnout.

Cybele has particular experience supporting people with traumatic grief and bereavement and enjoys helping health care professionals manage workplace stress. She also works with people navigating neurodiversity, ADHD, bipolar concerns, addictions, and intimacy or sexual-health related issues.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She brings practical exercises, reflective conversation, and somatic awareness into session work.

Clients can expect collaborative goal setting and a focus on skills they can use in daily life. Cybele practices from Utah and conducts sessions in English.

She welcomes international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches for body and relationship work online

Cybele commonly integrates the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication habits. That approach focuses on practical skills for reducing conflict and strengthening connection when relationship issues are present.

She also uses somatic therapy to bring attention to how stress and trauma show up in the body. Somatic methods include grounding, breath work, and movement-based awareness to help people notice and change physical responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps the client feel and function better. Clients are invited to share preferences and to shape the work together.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy lives and varied needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls are handy when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats support brief check-ins or ongoing written work between sessions. This range makes it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, travel, or different time zones.
