About Cynthia
Cynthia Yanez is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing strong emotions and difficult life moments. They focus on practical steps and emotional understanding to lessen overwhelm and regain a sense of direction. Cynthia works in both English and Spanish and brings ten years of experience to each session.
They listen for the patterns that keep someone stuck. Cynthia then guides clients to make sense of old assumptions and expectations that limit choices.
Background and approach
Conversations are calm and direct, aimed at making emotional pain easier to name and manage. Sessions blend self-reflection with down-to-earth techniques. Cynthia emphasizes building awareness first, then trying small behavior changes to test new ways of coping.
This mix supports people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, anger, relationship concerns, career questions, parenting strain, and identity issues. People who have experienced trauma, abuse, discrimination, or life transitions find a straightforward approach here. Cynthia also works with concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, fertility and adoption-related worries, immigration stress, and commitment or intimacy issues.
Practical matters are handled clearly. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Payment is through a cancellable subscription model and appointments are arranged after a short matching questionnaire.

How Cynthia’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting conversation so clients feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs space to name feelings and decide what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and in the self, helping people track patterns in how they respond to closeness, conflict, or loss. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to open new possibilities.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. Together they try small changes and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
