About Cynthia
Dr. Cynthia Yamokoski is an Ohio psychologist with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, and related challenges. Her practice also covers problems with sleep, eating, addictions, and work or career strain.
She uses time-limited, research-backed methods and explains treatment options clearly before beginning. That means she talks through what to expect, reviews different techniques, and helps people choose an approach that fits their situation. Sessions focus on practical skills and steps rather than long, open-ended therapy.
Dr. Yamokoski has extensive clinical and research experience treating survivors of traumatic events. She has worked with first responders, veterans, people injured in accidents, and survivors of sexual trauma. Her work often involves structured approaches that address post-traumatic stress, panic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and prolonged grief.
Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused methods. In practice that looks like teaching strategies to manage distressing thoughts, gradual exposure to reduce avoidance, and setting concrete behavioral goals. She emphasizes shared decision-making so people understand the rationale for each step.
People who come to her get clear information about options up front and a plan with measurable steps. The emphasis is on learning skills to handle strong emotions, reduce symptoms, and move toward daily routines that feel more manageable.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Yamokoski commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in structured, time-limited work. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, panic, obsessions, and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves guided work on traumatic memories and gradual exposure to reduce avoidance and distress related to past events.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. She explains options, answers questions about what each method involves, and helps clients decide based on their goals and comfort level. That shared process sets clear steps and measurable goals from the start.
