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, depression, and parenting concerns. Cynthia speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents can use now to manage daily challenges.

Her work centers on building clear goals and steady progress. She blends client-centered listening with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions aim to teach skills for coping, improving communication, and regulating strong emotions.

Background and approach

Cynthia has long experience helping people cope after losses, relationship strain, and major life changes. She also supports those facing burnout, compassion fatigue, or addiction-related problems. Parents looking for pragmatic strategies to handle stress, family conflict, or behavior concerns will find a focus on usable techniques.

In therapy Cynthia helps people set measurable goals, practice new ways of thinking, and try small behavior changes between sessions. She emphasizes self-awareness and clear steps that can begin to shift daily routines. The tone is direct, encouraging, and solution-focused.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted remotely through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once a client chooses to begin the process. Cynthia supports clients as they learn new tools and build routines that fit their lives.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps a person clarify goals and values. This approach is useful when someone needs understanding and a strong working alliance before trying new skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many parenting challenges by teaching specific skills to change patterns that keep problems going.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It teaches strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful for anger, impulsivity, and relationship tensions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients help choose which techniques to emphasize so the work matches day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit short updates, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These formats help clients fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady progress.
