About Cynthia

Cynthia Gladyness is a licensed social worker with 26 years of practice in Michigan. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and parenting concerns. Cynthia aims to give clear, practical help so people can cope better and make changes that fit their lives.

Cynthia keeps the conversation straightforward and respectful. Sessions often begin by looking at what matters most to the person and what small steps could make life easier.

Background and approach

She uses therapy methods that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful thinking, and build stronger emotional connections. Parents and caregivers will find attention paid to real-world routines, communication, and the strain that parenting can bring. Cynthia also works with issues such as anger, intimacy, sleep problems, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She helps people address major losses, relationship pain, and transitions that feel overwhelming. Her practice blends tools from cognitive and emotion-focused approaches with client-centered listening and motivational methods. That mix is aimed at helping someone clarify values, practice new skills, and stay motivated between sessions.

She explains techniques in plain language and adapts them to each person's pace. Cynthia has worked across a wide range of life challenges for more than two decades. She brings steady, practical support when life feels confusing or stuck.

Her goal is to help people find manageable ways forward and stronger day-to-day coping.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small committed actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions and improving emotional communication in relationships; it can help people repair connection and feel more supported.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. She often blends tools from these approaches and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
