About Cynthia
Cynthia Rumford-Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers a warm, interactive style that aims to help people feel heard and supported. Cynthia focuses on practical steps clients can use to cope with life changes and day-to-day struggles.
She draws on client-centered work to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness tools are included when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of California, Berkeley, plus many years in social work and human services across public and independent settings. That experience informs her work with grief, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, and parenting and foster-care concerns.
Cynthia also supports people dealing with relationship and family problems, communication and commitment issues, divorce and separation, and the emotional effects of adoption and blended families. She pays attention to struggles with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and emptiness, and she works with mood-related conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD challenges.
She aims to create specific, structured goals with each person and to teach practical skills that can be used between sessions. Cynthia emphasizes finding a good fit and partnering with clients to tailor the plan to their needs and life circumstances.
