About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, grief, parenting, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of life changes and behavioral challenges. Cynthia uses practical, skills-based work to help people make measurable changes in daily life.
She often applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. Cynthia also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person's goals. Her background includes work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addiction-related issues, and stress that comes from career or life transitions.
Sessions look at what a person thinks, what they do, and how those patterns affect relationships and well-being. Cynthia uses short exercises, skills practice, and goal-setting so progress can be tracked between meetings. She may include mindfulness techniques and elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed.
Clients with concerns such as body image, codependency, impulsivity, or infidelity receive straightforward tools to manage reactions and rebuild routines. She also supports people facing immigration stress, blended family issues, and caregiving strain. Work on sleep, eating issues, and attention challenges includes concrete behavior changes and scheduling strategies.
Cynthia invites people to be open about their thoughts and feelings. She aims to help clients set clear goals, try alternative strategies, and evaluate what works. To get started she guides people through a focused intake and an initial plan for the first weeks of work.
How Cynthia’s approaches are used in online sessions
Online work often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thinking and behavior and to practice alternatives. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, short experiments, and homework that can be done between meetings to test what changes help most.Client-Centered Therapy provides a way to organize sessions around the client’s priorities. The therapist listens for what the client wants to change and adjusts pacing and topics to match those goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings are intense or overwhelming.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and recommend which methods to start with. The plan can be reviewed and adjusted as progress is monitored.
