About Cynthia

Cynthia Wells is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with five years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and bipolar disorder. Cynthia approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

Her sessions are shaped around what each person needs. Cynthia tailors conversations and treatment plans to reflect the client’s goals and life situation. She uses practical tools to help people manage daily stress, regulate mood, and build clearer routines.

Cynthia draws on several psychotherapy methods to address patterns that keep people stuck. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and connect choices to deeply held values. The work mixes short-term strategies with attention to longer term coping skills.

People who come to Cynthia often want relief from intense emotions, better day-to-day functioning, or help navigating a major life change. She also supports those managing addiction concerns, relationship challenges, parenting strain, or compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on clear steps and small changes that add up over time.

Cynthia welcomes clients who prefer direct, empathetic guidance and an approach that balances practical skill-building with honest listening. She offers a collaborative space to set priorities, try new habits, and track progress toward a more balanced life.

How Cynthia Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and choose actions that match those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with major life changes because it links small steps to long-term goals.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist reflects what the person says and supports their own problem-solving; this helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches specific techniques to change unhelpful thinking and develop routines that reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Cynthia will work with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together clients and the therapist review what is helping and adjust the plan over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during transitional periods. It can also let someone choose sessions that focus on skill practice, mood tracking, or values-based planning without changing daily routines.
