About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 22 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, sleep, relationships, and other life challenges. Cynthia aims to create a welcoming space where people can share hard thoughts and feelings without judgment. She focuses on practical steps that can help someone feel more steady day to day.
Cynthia favors a collaborative approach. She uses client-centered work to listen and follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to find patterns that keep problems going and on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and coping are priorities. These methods are used to address concerns like grief, parenting stress, addiction, mood disorders, and sleep difficulties.
Sessions mix conversation, skill-building, and goal setting. Cynthia helps people identify small, doable changes and practices they can try between visits. She encourages clear, measurable goals and checks progress regularly so adjustments can be made.
Her background includes long experience as a counselor and educator, with an emphasis on learning new skills alongside clients. This experience influences how she structures sessions and teaches coping strategies. Cynthia describes therapy as a partnership where clients gain self-awareness and practical tools.
People looking to address eating and body image concerns, trauma or relationship problems can expect a straightforward, skills-focused style. For sleep-related concerns she works to identify behaviors and thoughts that interfere with rest and to introduce strategies that support better sleep habits.
How these approaches can work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It emphasizes understanding, empathy, and helping people set their own goals, which can guide session topics and homework. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and habit change. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies if something isn’t helping. That means approaches get tested and tailored rather than assumed in advance.
Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a busy life because it can reduce travel time and allow sessions during a work break or between family tasks. Online sessions can also make it simpler to practice behavioral experiments and sleep-hygiene changes in real-world settings and then discuss results at the next visit.
