About Cynthia
Dr. Cynthia Yamokoski helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She is a psychologist licensed in Ohio and brings 15 years of clinical experience.
Her approach is practical and focused on real problems parents often face, such as sleep issues, parenting strain, and relationship stress. She uses time-limited, evidence-informed methods to help people move forward. That often starts with clear conversations about treatment choices and shared decision-making.
Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, not just talking about problems.
Background and approach
Cynthia leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to cause distress, and she adapts the pace to each person’s needs. Her background includes clinical and research experience with people affected by traumatic events and with many common mental health concerns.
She draws on that experience to offer structured plans for symptoms like panic, obsessive thoughts, depression, and complicated grief. People working with her can expect straightforward explanations, step-by-step plans, and coaching on practical skills. The goal is to reduce symptoms and build routines that work better at home and at work.
She offers care in English and practices from Ohio.

How CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain problems. It breaks issues into clear steps and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past events that keep causing distress and builds coping strategies for intrusive memories and triggers.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explain options, discuss goals, and together decide which methods fit best for the issue and for personal preferences. Sessions may begin with a short plan and change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and do longer therapy sessions. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work for brief updates, coaching between appointments, or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare, or travel.
