About Cynthia
Cynthia Wells is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and mood challenges. She describes therapy as a practical partnership where people learn tools that fit their everyday lives. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for those seeking change.
Cynthia adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She listens for what matters most and then works with clients to set clear, usable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning simple skills to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Her work draws on several therapy approaches to match different needs. Cynthia uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build emotional skills, and clarify personal values.
She blends problem-solving with reflective conversation so clients gain both insight and practical strategies. With five years of experience and a Florida LMHC credential, Cynthia has worked with a range of concerns from addiction and trauma to parenting stress and career-related strain. She supports people facing life transitions, compassion fatigue, and interpersonal challenges.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
The practice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions that match those values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by guiding concrete choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes; it is useful for managing worry, low mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, daily routine, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress happens.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for longer therapy sessions and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is a concern. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice more convenient between sessions. Overall, these options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy schedules and life demands.
