About Cynthia

Cynthia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than two decades in practice. She practices in Florida and brings calm, steady support when life feels overwhelming. Cynthia focuses on helping people take practical steps toward clearer thinking and more manageable days.

She creates a welcoming space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings. Cynthia emphasizes listening first and then working together to set small, realistic goals. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people notice what changes matter most to them.

Her work covers stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with big life changes. Cynthia also helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to ADHD.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match how someone prefers to work. That can mean focusing on values and action, exploring how attachment shapes relationships, or using practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cynthia explains methods clearly and keeps plans realistic.

Clients can expect steady support through transitions and setbacks. Cynthia pays attention to family of origin issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, codependency, dissociation, and related concerns. Her approach aims to help people build routines and coping skills that fit everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making day-to-day choices that support wellbeing.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns. This approach can help people understand recurring relationship struggles and build more steady ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to lean more on values-based action, attachment exploration, or practical cognitive and behavioral skills.

If you are considering remote sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use different skill-building exercises during the week and keep therapy consistent through life changes.
