About Cynthia
Cynthia Gladyness is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addictions, and a wide range of life changes.
She uses clear, goal-focused work to address emotional pain and day-to-day problems.

Cynthia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one tool among others to bring practical structure to sessions.
Her approach also includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered listening to clarify what matters most to each person. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are additional methods she may draw on when they fit a person's goals. These methods are used to help with communication, motivation, and processing difficult feelings.
Cynthia has experience supporting people with parenting concerns, family conflict, intimacy issues, sleeping difficulties, anger, and career stress. She also works with people facing medical or end-of-life issues, adoption and foster care questions, and problems tied to loss or abandonment. Her practice addresses both short-term goals and longer-term coping skills.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Clients can expect to set concrete goals, practice skills between meetings, and review progress regularly. For international clients or anyone arranging sessions, confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thinking patterns and try different behaviors. In practice this means setting clear, short-term goals, practicing small experiments between sessions, and reviewing what worked. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing what matters to someone and taking small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and clarification to make sure the work matches the person's priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses and adjusted when needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people keep consistent momentum between meetings and more readily practice skills in everyday settings.
