About Cynia
Cynia Black is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She describes herself as a family member and a clinician who has worked closely with youth and their caregivers. Cynia lists concerns she helps people with, including family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
She spent much of her time in intensive in-home and outpatient settings. There she worked as a Family Consultant with children from birth to age 12 and as a Family Therapist with families of adolescents aged 10 to 17. That background shaped how she thinks about adolescence and the strain of transitions into adulthood.
Cynia aims to increase resilience and build practical coping strategies. She focuses on helping people develop tools they can use between sessions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to how family dynamics affect behavior.
Her clinical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to address things like impulsivity, communication problems, caregiver stress, and issues that come up after trauma.
Cynia also lists additional focus areas such as blended family concerns, control issues, domestic violence, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. She works in English and practices in North Carolina as an LCSW.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and practice new ways of reacting. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, conversational approach that helps people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to do it.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynia will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused techniques, or trauma-focused work is used together in sessions.

Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work or caregiving days, allow for shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt practical exercises, behavioral experiments, and communication skills practice to the session format chosen, keeping the focus on usable tools and progress over time.
