I feel comfortable confiding in my therapist. She gives me a safe space to be myself and discuss things that I would typically consider embarrassing or shameful. She gives me the perfect amount of empathy but still probes and ask open ended question that allows me to process and come up with my own conclusions

More about Cynthia

- 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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
