About Cynthia

Cynthia Barrett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience as a therapist and counselor. She has worked in a variety of settings and supported people facing depression, anxiety, stress, career concerns, family and couples issues, military-related challenges, and recovery after trauma and abuse.

Her approach to therapy is warm, inviting, and open, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding labels and stigma. Her clinical training is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical method that examines thoughts and behaviors - and client-centered counseling - an empathic approach that prioritizes each person’s unique perspective. She collaborates with clients to create treatment plans tailored to individual needs and goals.

Seeking change takes courage, and Cynthia aims to provide steady encouragement and support throughout that process. She accepts clients and is available for sessions by appointment. At this time she is available only on Saturdays; clients may consult her scheduling calendar to arrange an initial session. Cynthia looks forward to working with those ready to take steps toward greater wellbeing.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathic relationship where the person’s experience guides the work; this approach is helpful for people facing life transitions, relationship concerns, or issues that benefit from a supportive, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of feelings and bodily sensations, which can support emotional regulation and stress reduction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cynthia collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor interventions and adjust strategies over time to find what works.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These options support consistent, accessible therapy while allowing each person to select the communication style that feels most comfortable.
