About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. Cynthia also addresses issues around ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions, and career-related stress.
She draws on client-centered work to let people lead the conversation while offering practical tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are part of her toolkit, used to help change unhelpful thinking and develop emotional regulation skills. Cynthia combines these methods with coaching-style goal-setting to help people move from insight to action.
Sessions are focused and direct. Cynthia helps clients set clear goals and practice strategies between meetings. She uses mindfulness techniques to improve attention and reduce reactivity when that fits the client's needs.
Her experience includes long-term counseling and education work, which she brings into sessions as practical problem-solving and skill teaching. She pays attention to patterns in relationships, communication, and behavior that keep problems going, and she offers step-by-step ways to address them.
Cynthia expects honest, sometimes challenging conversations that aim to produce real change. She invites clients to bring specific problems, goals, and readiness to try new skills. Her work is geared toward adults navigating early and mid-adulthood concerns, including young adult issues like transitioning after school, first jobs, and relationships.
Clients should confirm session formats before booking. Cynthia practices in Florida and conducts work in English.
How Cynthia uses proven approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what the client says and supports them in naming goals and priorities, which helps people gain clarity about their next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Cynthia uses CBT to break down problems into manageable steps and to practice new ways of thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, including distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as you try different strategies.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during work or school breaks. They also let people use phone-only options when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Ask about session length and format when scheduling so sessions can fit into everyday life.
