About Cynthia
Cynthia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a steady, calm presence to conversations about hard things. She invites people to speak honestly and be heard without judgment.
She helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and career-related strain. Attachment concerns and family-of-origin issues are part of her focus.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the person and build steps that fit daily life. Techniques from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based methods are used to shift unhelpful patterns and increase emotional flexibility.
Cynthia also draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand their relational patterns and feel less stuck by past hurt. Dialectical skills can be introduced for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed. Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions.
The goal is to find strategies that feel doable and meaningful. Cynthia offers support while people try new ways of coping and relating. She is licensed in Florida and California as an LCSW.
Sessions are offered in English and available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support
How attachment and behavior-focused work translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and practice different ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking committed steps even when emotions feel intense. It helps people move toward what matters despite uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and helps people try new habits to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cynthia will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily routine. That collaboration means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow full face-to-face work when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share brief updates, practice skills between sessions, or fit support into a busy day. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions and try out skills in real time while staying connected with a licensed professional.
