About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 22 years of experience. She works with people dealing with relationship problems, grief, parenting stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Cynthia offers practical strategies and goal-focused support to help people handle everyday challenges.
She emphasizes clear, doable steps rather than abstract concepts. Sessions often include talking through current problems, setting small goals, and learning coping tools. Cynthia draws on client-centered work to keep the focus on what matters most to each person.
Her background includes long clinical experience and roles in education. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and managing strong reactions.
Cynthia also integrates the Gottman Method for relationship communication and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress. She describes her style as collaborative - she and the person work together to choose approaches that fit the situation.
In sessions she prioritizes straightforward feedback and practical exercises people can use between meetings. Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including sleep, career, addiction, trauma, ADHD, body image, and coping with life changes. Cynthia encourages people to set clear goals and track progress each step of the way.
How Cynthia’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person most wants to address. It helps people feel understood and keeps sessions focused on their practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful when feelings escalate.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will work with the person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT exercises for a few weeks, then adding DBT skills or more client-centered work based on how things are going.
