About Cynthia
Cynthia Benzing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Cynthia is direct and practical in sessions and focuses on helping people manage feelings that get in the way of daily life.
She prefers short clear goals rather than long vague plans. Cynthia uses conversation, reflection, and exercises to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help clients respond differently to strong emotions.
Sessions involve looking at what keeps problems going and testing small changes in thinking and behavior. She also addresses related concerns such as grief, codependency, communication problems, and issues tied to chronic illness or life transitions. Cynthia helps people handle anger that shows up at work, at home, or inside relationships by breaking it into manageable steps.
Her approach is practical and grounded. She guides people through manageable skills, breathing and awareness work, and realistic action plans. Cynthia works with clients to track progress and adjust methods when needed.
People who choose her often want clear tools and straightforward conversation. She asks about everyday routines and responsibilities, and uses that information to shape the work. Cynthia offers sessions in English and practices in Pennsylvania.
How Cynthia’s approaches translate to remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful when anger or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to test different ways of thinking. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity in stressful moments.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Cynthia collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day routine. She checks in about what helps and adjusts techniques as needed so the work stays relevant.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. They also let people use mindfulness and behavioral exercises in the context of their real life, which can help transfer new skills into everyday situations.
