More about Cynthia

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LISW-CP

As a licensed therapist in South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship dynamics. I'm particularly passionate about working with older adults, women, and young professionals experiencing transitions, isolation, or seeking deeper self-understanding.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on communication, self-love, and personal growth. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients explore workplace challenges, family dynamics, sexuality, and life purpose. Whether you're processing a significant life transition like divorce, managing workplace stress, or addressing family-of-origin experiences, I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment.

I believe each person's journey is unique, and my role is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance as you discover your inner strengths and navigate personal healing.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
