Cynthia Jenkins, LMHP

Cynthia Jenkins is a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) in Nebraska with 34 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and family strain, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career struggles, bipolar concerns, and life changes. Cynthia also notes additional focus areas such as blended family issues, cancer, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, and multicultural concerns.

She practices in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions are conversational and practical. Cynthia listens for patterns that get in the way of daily life and introduces tools people can try between meetings. Expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and reflective exercises rather than a single formula.

Cynthia trained academically and has taught psychology at universities in Nebraska, Texas, and Missouri. She has worked in low-income communities and in university and community counseling centers. For more than a decade she trained post-graduate students on material related to board exam preparation for medicine and dentistry.

Her academic background includes a PhD in Social Psychology, which shaped her interest in social and cultural conflicts across countries. She also spent over 30 years as a licensed massage therapist, an experience she says influenced her attention to bodily awareness and practical coping strategies.

Cynthia describes her approach as eclectic. She draws on client-centered methods and structured therapies when useful. Outside of work she values travel, creative crafts, and time outdoors, and she brings that wide-ranging curiosity into sessions.
