About Cynthia

Cynthia Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, anger, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Cynthia speaks English and Spanish and brings experience from inpatient and community settings to her counseling work.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. Cynthia blends cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance and commitment therapy and client-centered listening. Sessions focus on practical skills people can try between meetings, such as noticing thoughts, testing assumptions, and building small behavior changes.

People who bring worries about past trauma, abuse, or family-of-origin problems will find her willing to address difficult memories alongside current struggles. She also supports those coping with caregiving stress, complicated grief, or professional burnout. Cynthia pays attention to how relationships and communication shape day-to-day feelings.

Her approach is interactive rather than prescriptive. Clients can expect a mix of gentle challenge and problem-solving. Work may include mindfulness practices, thought records, values clarification, and role-play for better conversations with others.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Cynthia does not accept international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm the therapist's current session options and schedule by following the platform's steps to match and book a first appointment.

How Cynthia uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing whether they help or harm. Online work often includes simple exercises to track triggers, thoughts, and small behavior experiments to reduce anger-driven reactions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that fit those values, even with difficult emotions present. In remote sessions this can mean brief values exercises, committed-action planning, and practicing acceptance skills between meetings.

Mindfulness work teaches noticing bodily signals and thoughts without immediately acting on them. Short guided practices and grounding strategies are often introduced to help lower reactivity and build better self-awareness over time.

Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. Cynthia will collaborate with each client to figure out what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping consistent momentum between appointments.
