Cynthia Yanez

Cynthia Yanez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, listening presence to sessions. Cynthia aims to create space for clients to name what feels stuck and to take practical steps forward.

She works collaboratively with each person to untangle old assumptions and expectations that limit choices. Sessions focus on building self-understanding and awareness as a path to change. Cynthia combines a reflective, insight-oriented style with practical techniques when needed to shift daily patterns.

Clients can expect a mix of talking through difficult feelings and trying out new behaviors between sessions. Cynthia pays attention to how life roles, family history, and identity shape emotional reactions. She also supports people handling grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.

With ten years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - Cynthia draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe stories and set small, achievable goals. Emotionally-focused work is used when relationships and attachment patterns are central to the concern.

Her style aims to be direct but gentle. Cynthia helps clients notice patterns, name difficult emotions, and practice different ways of responding. People leave with clearer direction and tools they can use between sessions.

How her approaches work online and in practice

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the moment and on empathy and listening; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to make sense of feelings and reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at attachment and patterns in close relationships and is useful when anger or distance shows up between partners or loved ones. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and can be useful for reshaping identity after trauma or major life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a process. Cynthia will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to current needs and preferences rather than assuming one fixed method.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into busy lives, whether you need shorter check-ins during a workday or longer sessions at night. It also reduces travel time and makes it simpler to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Many people find the same depth of reflection and skill-building is possible online when the therapeutic approach fits their goals.
