About Cynthia
Cynthia Yzaguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 22 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and codependency-related patterns. Cynthia uses practical approaches to help clients set and meet goals and manage everyday problems.
She favors methods that focus on how people think, feel, and act in relationships and daily life. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to manage intense emotions. Her work also draws on client-centered ideas that keep the person's experience central to sessions.
Cynthia describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to pick strategies that fit their situation. Sessions may focus on building emotional regulation, practicing communication skills, or creating clearer boundaries when people put others first.
Her background includes long experience as a counselor and educator, which she uses to teach skills and explain tools plainly. She also has additional training outside of traditional therapy practice, and she brings that knowledge into session planning when it helps the client reach goals.
Cynthia asks people to be ready to try practical steps between sessions. She often combines talking with exercises and short skill practices. The overall aim is to increase self-awareness, reduce reactive patterns, and create steady day-to-day changes that feel manageable.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work keeps the person’s concerns at the center and means the therapist listens first, then suggests practical strategies. This approach helps when the focus is understanding relationship patterns or deciding which skills to try.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. In practice this looks like identifying a troubling thought, testing it, and trying a different response. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and problems with self-esteem.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT exercises can be practiced in short steps during sessions and as homework between meetings to build steady change.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Cynthia will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. The plan can be adjusted as needs change so the work stays practical and goal-focused.
Session formats are not detailed in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that having sessions from a familiar setting helps them apply skills directly to everyday situations.
