About Cynthia
Cynthia Marcolina is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. She approaches counseling in a gentle, collaborative way so people feel heard and understood. Cynthia draws on straightforward tools that aim to improve self-talk and strengthen coping skills.
She blends Client-Centered, existential, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral ideas into practical work. Sessions often include short exercises, guided reflection, and recommendations for written or creative work between meetings.
Background and approach
Cynthia encourages drawing on creative abilities to get through difficult moments. Over a long career she has worked across many mental health settings and with a wide range of diagnoses. That experience informs a calm, steady style that focuses on what someone can control right now.
She likes to use brief, tangible strategies that people can practice at home. Typical goals in her work include reducing anxiety, improving self-esteem, and learning how to self-soothe with or without medication. She also supports people coping with life changes, grief, relationship strain, and addiction-related concerns.
Her approach favors present-focused steps and clear, achievable directions. Cynthia asks questions, listens closely, and helps people identify small changes that make a difference. She invites clients to test ideas between sessions and adjust the plan as needed.
The tone is practical, compassionate, and focused on usable skills.

How Cynthia’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, then building goals together; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs and goals. That might mean starting with present-focused CBT exercises, then adding mindfulness or existential questions to deepen insight as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling prompts, or shorter coaching-style exchanges between longer sessions. These options allow therapy to fit work schedules, caregiving duties, or travel while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
