About Cynthia
Cynthia Colean is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. Cynthia speaks English and practices in Kansas.
She centers conversations on each person's lived experience and strengths. Sessions are collaborative - the client leads the story and Cynthia offers questions, reflections, and tools to make small, workable changes. Many clients come for help with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, or depression.
Background and approach
Cynthia also supports people facing family tensions and parenting challenges. She listens for patterns in communication and offers simple strategies to reduce conflict and improve day-to-day functioning. She has experience addressing trauma and abuse and helps people notice how past events affect current reactions.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she pays attention to the relationship in the room while offering practical techniques to shift thoughts and behaviors when those are getting in the way. Sessions usually focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings.
To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits. Subscriptions for sessions can be canceled at any time and pricing varies by location and therapist availability.

How Cynthia's approaches work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns in thought and behavior that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions focus on practical strategies and short experiments you can try between meetings to reduce anxiety or lift mood.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the relationship and personal experience. In this approach the therapist listens with empathy, follows your priorities, and supports your own problem-solving. It works well for people who want space to make sense of stressful family or parenting situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Cynthia works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She may use a mixture of empathetic listening and CBT techniques depending on what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging can fit into busy or unpredictable schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family and work commitments.
