About Cyndi

Cyndi Cynthia Oberdan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nine years of professional practice who brings a background in working with diverse needs and life stages.

Background and approach

She trained in social work after earning a bachelor’s degree in Recreational Therapy and has supported people through medical, community, and family settings. Her experience includes helping individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities, coordinating community habilitation and respite services, working in child welfare investigations, and providing medical social work in hospitals and outpatient clinics.

Her approach blends practical skills training with emotional support, drawing on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy. This range allows her to tailor sessions to concerns including ADHD, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, addictions, parenting challenges, life transitions, and issues around intimacy and trauma.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and attention to both coping strategies and interpersonal patterns. Based in Florida, she works in English and offers therapy through multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and needs.

Cyndi frames the therapeutic process as a partnership aimed at improving day-to-day functioning, strengthening relationships, and working toward meaningful life goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s experience and building a supportive therapeutic relationship, helping clients explore priorities and feel heard while working toward personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or mood difficulties, and it teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits and improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions begin with mutual assessment and goal-setting so the plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit consistent work into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and practice skills between sessions while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
