About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings 22 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
Cynthia aims to help people set clear goals and learn skills that make daily life feel more manageable. She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking, and client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities.
Sessions are conversational and direct. Cynthia encourages people to speak openly and to test what works for them between visits.
Cynthia has a background as a counselor and educator, which shapes how she teaches coping skills and problem-solving. She focuses on building self-awareness and hands-on strategies people can use right away.
That includes tools for managing anger, improving sleep, addressing eating concerns, and handling career stress. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction challenges, ADHD, and issues tied to family or blended family dynamics.
Additional topics she addresses include intimacy concerns, infidelity, codependency, immigration-related stress, and the strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Therapy with Cynthia tends to combine skill practice, reflective conversation, and goal setting.
She helps people try methods like mindfulness and DBT skills when they fit the problem. The aim is steady progress through achievable steps that match each person’s values and daily life.
How talk therapy and practical methods translate online
Online sessions often combine conversational work with clear skill practice. The Gottman Method focuses on understanding interaction patterns and teaching small communication shifts that reduce conflict and build connection. It is useful for people who want concrete ways to change how they relate to others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress by introducing short exercises and homework to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s priorities and pacing, offering a supportive space to clarify goals and make decisions at the client's speed.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will work with each person to figure out what methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She often combines elements from different approaches and adjusts them as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues during conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, on-going support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
