Cindy Reyes

Cindy Reyes, LCSW, welcomes people seeking support for grief, trauma, anxiety, and stress. She speaks English and Spanish and offers steady, practical help for day-to-day emotional struggles. Cindy writes short-term and longer-term goals with each person and focuses on clear, usable skills. Cindy has eleven years of clinical experience in community mental health. She has worked with people facing depression, PTSD, life transitions, and relationship strain. Her background includes work with cancer patients, caregivers, and people living with chronic illness and pain. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions focused on what the person needs right now. Conversations aim to identify triggers, build coping skills, and reduce intense reactions. Mindfulness practices and straightforward coping tools are common parts of her work. Cindy aims for a respectful, collaborative atmosphere where clients feel heard and understood. She helps people set small, realistic steps toward change and tracks progress together. The goal is less overwhelm and more ability to manage day-to-day challenges. Her practice also includes support around immigration-related evaluations and related paperwork when that is part of a person’s care. People who prefer Spanish may choose to work in that language. Cindy practices in California and works with international clients as part of her offering.

How evidence-based techniques translate online

Many of the approaches Cindy uses focus on teaching concrete skills people can use between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about noticing thoughts and testing them against facts to change unhelpful patterns; it helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness practices teach brief attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life. Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and comfort level, and will adjust approaches as progress is made. Please confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not detailed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or helping people attend sessions when travel or mobility is difficult. Many people find it helpful to practice skills learned in sessions immediately in their daily routines, which can speed up progress and make therapy feel more relevant.
