About Cyndi

Cyndi Cynthia Oberdan is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of practice in Florida. She brings a history of direct service across clinical and community settings. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to improve daily life, rest, and relationships.

Her early work included supporting people with developmental and intellectual disabilities and running programs that built life skills and social connections. She later worked in child welfare as an investigator and in medical settings providing crisis intervention and counseling in hospitals and outpatient clinics. These roles shaped her skill at handling urgent concerns and coordinating care.

Cyndi blends familiar approaches to suit each person’s needs. She draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindful practices, motivational interviewing, and elements of the Gottman Method. In a session she helps clients set clear goals, try manageable changes, and notice what works.

She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep and rest issues, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, life changes, ADHD, addiction concerns, and questions about self-esteem or career direction. Additional focuses include attachment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, concrete coping tools, and gentle guidance through difficult moments. Cyndi encourages collaboration on goals and adapts the pace to what each person can handle.

How her approaches shape online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behavior. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and stress by breaking large problems into small, testable steps.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the person’s lead and adjusts support to fit their values and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cyndi will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean focusing on sleep habits one month and relationship skills the next, based on what the client wants to prioritize.

For online work, confirm the session formats before booking since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove the need to travel to an appointment. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, breathing and grounding practices, and cognitive strategies to work over remote sessions, helping clients build better rest and daily routines without changing their day too much.
