About Cyndi
"Cyndi" Cynthia Oberdan is an LCSW based in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and people navigating big life changes. Cynthia aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for everyday challenges.
She listens first and tailors the approach to each person. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep problems, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also supports people facing career shifts, self-esteem struggles, and parenting stress.
Background and approach
Cynthia has experience across community and medical settings. Her background includes working with people who have intellectual disabilities, managing community programs, and providing case management and crisis intervention in hospital and outpatient clinics. She spent time in child welfare doing protective investigations and helping families address safety and relationship patterns.
In sessions she blends several approaches to fit practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness tools are used to lower reactivity and improve focus.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and the Gottman Method for relationship skills when relevant. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people set small, achievable goals and practices skills between sessions.
Parents often come for help with blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and parenting challenges. Cynthia works in English and offers multiple online formats to fit busy schedules.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and guides the goals and pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful for stress, relationship conflict, and mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and daily life and then suggest techniques to try. That plan can change as progress is made, and clients are encouraged to give feedback so the sessions stay useful and focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper discussions and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break in the day or work with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules and let clients choose what feels most practical for them.
