About Cynthia
Cynthia Marcolina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 35 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, relationship issues, and anger. Cynthia also addresses LGBT concerns and a range of mood and intimacy-related problems.
She favors a collaborative, straightforward style. Sessions focus on practical steps - improving self-talk, easing anxiety, and learning ways to calm down without relying solely on medication. She often suggests short exercises you can do between sessions, including reading, journaling, and simple paper-and-pencil tasks.
Cynthia combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness. She includes existential ideas about meaning and choice when that fits a client’s situation. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people want help making changes or breaking patterns they find harmful.
Her work often includes creative exercises. She invites clients to use drawing or other creative activities when that helps process feelings. She also addresses communication problems and control issues that underlie ongoing conflict or frustration.
In practical terms Cynthia aims to help people reduce anxiety, build healthier self-esteem, and manage anger so it causes less harm to relationships and work life. She encourages clients to focus on present actions and on what they can control, rather than getting stuck in blame or rumination.
How Cynthia’s therapeutic approaches work for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and practical homework to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anger and anxiety. This approach often helps with workplace frustration, rumination, and patterns of reacting that cause problems.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding skills. These practices help with managing sudden irritation, staying present during conflicts, and calming the body when frustration rises. Client-Centered Therapy provides a listening framework where the client’s experience guides the session and choices about focus and pace.
Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Cynthia will work with each person to try approaches, see what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and feedback. The aim is practical tools that fit daily life, not a one-size-fits-all program.
