About Cynthia

Cynthia Yanez is a licensed clinical social worker who partners with people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, grief, and ADHD among other concerns.

Background and approach

With a decade of clinical experience, Cynthia emphasizes collaborative work that helps clients uncover and move beyond long-held assumptions that limit their choices and wellbeing. They approach therapy as a shared process of exploration and practical growth rather than a one-way prescription.

Cynthia draws on insight-oriented methods that promote self-understanding and awareness as catalysts for change, while integrating goal-focused strategies when helpful. Their style blends reflective conversation with concrete techniques to address emotional pain, coping skills, and life transitions.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Cynthia holds licensure in both Florida and Indiana (FL LCSW SW18523; IN LCSW 34011497A) and offers services to clients located in Florida. Sessions are available through a variety of remote formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients' perspectives and choices shape the work; it supports self-exploration and can be helpful for issues like stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships, helping people improve connection and manage intimacy-related struggles and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach often unfolds together over the first several sessions, with the therapist listening to goals, preferences, and patterns to recommend or blend approaches that best fit the client's needs. This collaborative process invites clients to try techniques and then adjust direction as progress and comfort evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods, manage geographic or mobility constraints, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic methods across these formats to support insight, emotional processing, and practical skill building.
