About Cyndi

Cyndi Cynthia Oberdan is a licensed clinical social worker who brings nearly a decade of professional practice to her work with people facing life changes. She speaks plainly and meets clients where they are, helping them make straight-forward plans and small steps that add up. She aims to build a working relationship rooted in respect and steady support.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and a long career in community and medical settings.

Background and approach

She has experience supporting people with developmental and intellectual disabilities, running respite and community habilitation programs, and assisting people with daily living goals. That work included helping people learn life skills, manage emotions, and increase social connection. Cyndi has also worked in child welfare as an investigator and in hospital and clinic settings as a medical social worker.

In those roles she provided crisis intervention, case management, and short-term counseling for trauma, grief, and adjustment concerns. These experiences shaped a practical, problem-solving approach to care. In sessions she mixes methods to fit each person's needs.

She draws on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and relationship-focused techniques. The tone is collaborative - she listens, offers options, and practices skills together rather than lecturing. People reach out to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, attention challenges, relationship problems, addictions, sleep trouble, and major life transitions.

She also supports those coping with attachment struggles, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s perspective first and focuses on listening, understanding, and following the client’s priorities. It helps people who want straightforward support and a therapist who reflects their experience rather than directing every step. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and improving communication in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try out methods, and adjust plans based on what the client finds helpful. That collaborative process helps ensure sessions focus on what matters most to the person and uses tools that fit their life and preferences.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options give flexibility for shorter or focused visits, longer weekly sessions, or quick skill refreshers during the week.
