Cynthia Martinez

Cynthia Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She supports those facing parenting challenges, caregiving strain, intimacy-related issues, and the emotional impact of trauma or abuse. She also offers guidance for people coping with life changes and end-of-life questions through hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Her approach is warm and interactive. Conversations are respectful and down-to-earth, with attention to each person's values and goals. Cynthia uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral and acceptance and commitment approaches alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices.

In sessions she aims to build practical skills for handling overwhelming feelings and everyday problems. That might include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and practicing brief mindfulness exercises. She also supports problem-solving around family roles, blended family issues, and communication difficulties.

Cynthia brings three years of counseling experience across inpatient and outpatient settings. She has worked with children, adolescents, women, and seniors programs, and has had roles that included case management and crisis intervention. Her bilingual fluency in English and Spanish helps people use the language they prefer during visits.

People who meet with Cynthia can expect a collaborative process. She will listen first, then work with each person to set goals and pick practical steps that fit their life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Cynthia’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches simple skills to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel heard and can lead the pace of their own work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Cynthia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they tailor a plan that may combine elements from different approaches and adjust over time as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit help into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make weekly work consistent when schedules shift.
