About Cynthia

Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 22 years of experience. She uses a client-centered approach to help people define goals and make practical changes. Cynthia draws on several therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are and move forward at a steady pace.

Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused work that emphasizes self-awareness and skills practice. Cynthia offers strategies for anxiety, depression, career concerns, grief, and relationship difficulties. She also addresses stress, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and body image issues among other concerns.

Her background includes extensive counseling experience and ongoing professional learning. Sessions typically mix talk therapy with practical tools aimed at everyday life. Cynthia aims to help people develop habits and coping skills that start to show results quickly.

In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental space where people can speak freely. Some meetings may be thought-provoking or challenging, and she stays alongside clients as they try new approaches. The focus is on workable steps toward the goals the client sets.

People who reach out are invited to explore which methods suit them best. Cynthia collaborates to choose approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or relationship work using the Gottman Method. Her work is geared toward clear, achievable progress over time.

How Cynthia’s Approaches Translate Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build insight and motivation for change. This approach suits people who want empathetic, collaborative support for things like career decisions or relationship struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more effective patterns. It often includes specific exercises and homework that target anxiety, depression, eating and sleeping concerns, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. This can be useful for managing anger, impulsivity, and intense mood swings in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions feel more manageable. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to continue goal-focused therapy using the approaches described above.
