About Cynthia

She uses a warm, welcoming approach and works to create a trusting space where people can talk through hard things. Cynthia holds LSCSW and LCSW credentials and practices in Missouri.
She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel better. Sessions start with the concerns that matter most, then move toward realistic short-term goals.
Background and approach
Cynthia partners with clients to spot obstacles that get in the way and to find clearer paths forward. She explains ideas plainly and checks that each plan fits the person’s life. Cynthia draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and see new possibilities in their stories.
She also uses Client-Centered approaches to follow what a person most needs in the moment, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and present-moment focus are helpful. Her style is encouraging and collaborative.
She respects each person’s pace and values practical tools alongside meaning-making. Parents and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about next steps will find straightforward support. Cynthia invites prospective clients to try a first session and work together on clear, achievable goals.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Cynthia directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How Narrative and Skills-Based Approaches Work Online
Cynthia uses Narrative Therapy to help people step back from a problem and view it as something separate from who they are. That makes it easier to rewrite personal stories and try different ways of responding. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead and create space for what feels most important in a session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and practice small, doable behavior changes that reduce symptoms over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia treats the first few sessions as a chance to learn what matters, try a few methods, and agree on goals. She collaborates with clients to adjust tools and pace so therapy fits their needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around life demands.
