About Cynthia

Cynthia Yanez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people untangle the emotional roadblocks that make life feel stuck. Cynthia speaks English and Spanish and draws on a decade of clinical experience to meet people where they are. The first step is a calm, steady conversation to figure out what matters most right now.

Cynthia uses self-understanding and awareness to guide change. Sessions often focus on identifying old assumptions that keep someone limited, and then testing different ways of responding.

Background and approach

This plain, reflective work aims to reduce isolation and make emotions easier to manage. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is one of the approaches Cynthia uses to help people notice and shift strong emotional patterns. She also practices client-centered methods that prioritize the person's experience and goals.

These approaches are aimed at helping with relationship concerns, intimacy, grief, trauma, and anxiety among other issues. When action is helpful, Cynthia blends brief, solution-focused steps or practical behavioral techniques into the conversation. That can mean setting small goals, trying a new behavior between sessions, or reframing a difficult memory to reduce its hold on daily life.

People working with Cynthia can expect a collaborative, respectful tone and straightforward guidance. Her Florida-based practice emphasizes clear communication and realistic steps toward healthier emotional habits. The work is paced to each person's needs and moves at a practical, human speed.

Online support

Emotionally-focused care through online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and change powerful emotional patterns that drive behavior. It focuses on understanding feelings in real time and trying new ways of responding to relationship and intimacy struggles or deep emotional pain.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. It emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's concerns and pace while reflecting what emerges in the moment.

Cynthia will work collaboratively to find the approach that fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques from different approaches to match those needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility: video calls approximate in-person conversation, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier for brief check-ins, live chat works for quick notes or ongoing support, and text-based messaging allows short updates between visits. These options help fit therapy into busy days, recovery periods, or long-distance schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress and clear next steps.
