About Cynthia

Cynthia Wells is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and bipolar disorder. Cynthia also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addictions, ADHD, and challenges with self-esteem and anger.

Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday strategies. Cynthia adapts her style to each person and uses a mix of methods to match what a client needs at the time.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build different coping habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform work around relationship patterns and attachment, while Client-Centered Therapy frames the interaction as respectful and client-led. Cynthia aims to help people notice the ways family of origin patterns show up now and to practice different responses.

Practical concerns such as work stress, caregiver burden, career decisions, and life transitions are routinely part of sessions. She also addresses complex focus areas like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, and blended family dynamics. The tone in sessions is straightforward and focused on useful next steps.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, life changes, and patterns rooted in the family someone grew up with.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical and often used for depression, anxiety, and building coping skills for everyday problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Those skills can be helpful when someone struggles with anger, mood swings, or impulsive reactions linked to past relationship patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and the problems you bring to decide which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress or circumstances change.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. If quieter surroundings, reduced screen time, or a brief phone check-in would help you attend more consistently, mention that when setting up your first session.
