About Cynthia

Cynthia Wells is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and bipolar challenges. She approaches each person with respect and calm. Her focus is practical support that fits everyday life. She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Conversations are tailored to the individual and guided by clear goals. Sessions emphasize skills people can use between meetings to reduce overwhelm and improve mood. Cynthia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to strengthen emotional awareness and regulation. Her practice includes work on relationship stress, parenting concerns, career strain, addiction issues, attention challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment wounds, attachment concerns, body image, and caregiver stress. The aim is to break problems into manageable steps and build realistic coping strategies. With five years of professional experience, Cynthia focuses on creating a supportive space where people can experiment with change. She will listen, suggest practical tools, and help people build a plan that fits their daily routines. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and she offers steady support through that process.

Approaches that translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and experimenting with new ways of responding. It helps with anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions by teaching concrete skills and small behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for stress, worry, and when life changes feel overwhelming. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and rhythm. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarify priorities. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can shift as needs change. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the original profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a break, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
