About Cynthia
Cynthia Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, parenting strain, and issues connected to family of origin. Cynthia also supports people dealing with identity concerns related to LGBT issues, intimacy questions, and life changes that affect daily functioning.
She uses straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on what is happening now and how past family patterns may still affect decision making and relationships. Sessions often include practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and moments of mindful noticing to help reduce unhelpful thoughts and physical tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and guide next steps.
Cynthia speaks English and Spanish and has experience across inpatient and community settings. Her background includes case management, crisis intervention, and working with people who have faced emotional or physical trauma. She draws on that work to offer clear, structured support when problems feel overwhelming.
In session she listens for recurring roles and expectations that grew up in a person’s family and helps people name those patterns. From there she offers behavioral tools, conversational reflection, and mindfulness practices to shift responses that no longer serve current life goals. Many clients focus on improving communication, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions like anger or grief.
To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cynthia notes that cost varies by location and that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can include practice assignments, thought records, and behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. ACT tasks online may include values exercises and short experiential practices to do outside session.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past, and then recommend techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats Cynthia offers before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions fit into busy schedules by reducing travel time and letting them schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other obligations. Online work also makes it easier to share worksheets, practice mindfulness audio, and complete short check-ins between meetings. Ask about language options and any practical questions when you schedule your first appointment.
