Cynthia Young is a licensed clinical social worker with over 26 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and low self esteem. She practices in Florida and uses straightforward, calm language to make therapy feel approachable. Her style centers on listening first and then working together on practical next steps.
She aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Cynthia emphasizes small, doable changes rather than big, sudden shifts. She supports people who are coping with life changes, addictions, relationship strain, anger, and career pressures.
Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and chronic health challenges. Additional focuses include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, family of origin problems, and forgiveness. Cynthia tailors each session to the issues a person brings in, mixing approaches to match the moment.
Therapy often includes teaching skills to manage intense feelings, practicing new ways of communicating, and setting realistic goals for daily life. She uses methods drawn from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive techniques to change unhelpful thinking, and dialectical skills for emotion regulation.

How Cynthia’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then commit to actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, low self esteem, and when life changes feel overwhelming.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits for mood and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow for scheduling around work or caregiving. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Many people find that remote work lets them practice skills between meetings and apply strategies in day-to-day routines.
