About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She has 22 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, and other life changes. Cynthia uses a practical, collaborative style to set goals and work toward them together with each person she sees.
Cynthia centers sessions on the individual’s needs and preferences. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting space and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. She also incorporates mindfulness and structured techniques when helpful.
People come for many concerns such as parenting challenges, substance use, trauma and abuse, body image and eating issues, career transitions, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Cynthia also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to build self-awareness and practical strategies that can be applied between sessions.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Cynthia encourages open expression of thoughts and feelings without judgment and helps people identify steps they can take right away. Some sessions may push people to reflect deeply, while others focus on skills practice and problem solving.
Cynthia invites people to take the first step toward clearer goals and more manageable days. She frames therapy as a shared process and offers guidance while people practice new approaches to cope and grow.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel understood so they can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to recognize unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for stress, anger, and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than promising a single fixed path.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break or sessions that avoid travel time. Remote work also makes it simpler to keep continuity if schedules change, and methods like CBT and DBT adapt well to exercises and skill practice between meetings.
