About Cynthia

Cynthia Yanez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and big life changes. Cynthia uses clear conversation to make sense of confusing feelings and to find steps forward that feel doable. Clients often come when old assumptions or expectations hold them back.

Cynthia listens to what matters and helps people untangle those beliefs. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now and deciding what to try next.

Background and approach

Her work leans on existential ideas about meaning and choice alongside client-centered care that follows each person’s pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationships and attachment feel central to the issue. Across sessions Cynthia blends insight with practical tools.

That might mean naming patterns from someone’s past, trying a small behavior change, or practicing different ways to talk about emotions. The goal is clearer thinking and more effective action between sessions. She brings ten years of experience as an LCSW and offers services in English and Spanish.

Cynthia is based in Florida and combines empathy with straightforward, practical support. People who want thoughtful, collaborative help with stress, trauma, identity, or parenting concerns often find this approach useful.

Approaches Cynthia names

Online support

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Cynthia commonly uses Existential Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online work. Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and responsibility when life feels unclear; it suits questions about identity, life direction, and major transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, following their pace and priorities to build understanding and trust during conversations. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotional experience and attachment patterns, which can help when relationship hurts or intimacy issues are central.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor sessions accordingly. That means techniques can shift over time as needs change and progress becomes clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or travel.
