"Cyndi" Cynthia Oberdan

Cyndi Cynthia Oberdan is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of post-licensure experience. She focuses on practical help for day-to-day struggles like stress, anxiety, career concerns, parenting strain, and relationship issues. Her approach is straightforward and rooted in real-life problem solving rather than jargon. She invites people to start where they are and take small steps forward.

Before becoming an LCSW she earned a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and spent many years supporting people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. That work included running a family respite program and managing community habilitation services for teens and adults. She also has experience in child welfare, including child protective investigations, and in medical social work in hospitals and clinics.

In sessions she adapts methods to fit each person. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gottman Method ideas, and Mindfulness Therapy. That lets her shift between talking through patterns, building coping skills, and practicing techniques in session.

People come to her for a range of concerns: coping with life changes, ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems, and help with self-esteem or life purpose. She also supports parents, caregivers, and those dealing with blended family dynamics or divorce. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to both immediate needs and longer-term growth.

Cyndi works from Florida and provides services in English. She asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it gives concrete skills to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down and notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. It can reduce reactivity to stress and supports sleep, focus, and emotional regulation when practiced regularly.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean trying a skill-based approach for one concern and a more reflective, client-centered conversation for another.

The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering ways to meet when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these approaches in live sessions to teach skills, review progress, and set small practice tasks that fit everyday routines.
