About Cynthia
Cynthia Wells is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and bipolar disorder. She works in a direct, practical way so people can notice what’s getting in the way and try different responses.
Her sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than complex theory. Cynthia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build steady routines. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central concerns.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about current problems and what to practice between meetings. Cynthia pays attention to patterns in thinking, behavior, and relationships, then suggests concrete exercises to test new approaches. Homework and skill practice are common parts of the work.
Her background includes helping people with a wide range of issues beyond mood disorders, such as addiction concerns, ADHD, caregiving stress, body image, and relationship communication problems. She also addresses attachment and personality-related concerns when those show up in session.
Sessions balance short-term goals and longer-term change. Cynthia aims to help people build practical skills they can use day to day, while also making room to process grief, trauma, or life transitions over time.
How Cynthia Uses CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems by breaking big problems into manageable steps.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions. It can help when avoidance keeps someone stuck or when coping with long-term challenges like grief or chronic stress.
Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can clarify what matters to them. This approach supports motivation and helps shape which skills or strategies to try next.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Cynthia collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using a single method for everything.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekly routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people try working on skills in real-life settings between sessions, which helps apply CBT and ACT techniques to everyday moments.
