About Cynthia

Cynthia Moses is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with three years of experience on this platform. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, and codependency among other concerns. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career strain, mood disorders, ADHD, and questions around gender and sexual identity.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to how daily life feels hard and helps people name what is getting in the way. Sessions focus on concrete goals and small steps that are realistic to try between meetings. She uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective and pace.

Cynthia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings are intense. Mindfulness and narrative techniques help people step back from painful stories and practice new ways of coping.

She values working collaboratively. That means deciding goals together and checking progress as treatment moves forward. The therapist helps people spot obstacles and try practical strategies to overcome them.

Cynthia has experience supporting survivors of childhood abuse, survivors of domestic violence, people managing panic and agoraphobia, and couples wanting clearer communication. She also offers help with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, grief around end of life, and matters related to HIV/AIDS and veteran concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her clinical background in social work. Before booking, confirm the current session options and whether they fit your schedule.

How sessions work

How Cynthia integrates approaches and online care

Cynthia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is helpful for anxiety, panic, mood issues, and coping with daily stressors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when feelings run high.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with the person about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist check progress together and decide what to keep working on.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel time. It can also let someone choose a session that does not require being on camera or that needs less bandwidth. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you schedule so you can pick what suits your routine.
