About Cynthia

Cynthia Roe brings 30 years of social work experience to her practice in California. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood concerns. Her calm, respectful manner helps people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She works with clients facing addiction, grief, relationship and family tensions, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. She also supports people coping with major life changes, caregiving strain, cancer impact, and challenges tied to adoption or abandonment.

Background and approach

Cynthia pays attention to how past attachments shape present behavior. Cynthia uses practical, straightforward conversations to clarify what matters most to each person. She tailors goals and strategies to match individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions often blend short-term problem solving with longer-term attention to relationship patterns. Her approach draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas for shifting thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to manage stress in the moment. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or facing ambivalence.

People who choose Cynthia can expect a mix of compassion and clear direction. She aims to make next steps manageable, whether the focus is on day-to-day coping, mood regulation, or improving communication. Cynthia frames therapy as a collaborative process toward clearer choices and steadier functioning.

Online support

How Cynthia’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Sessions use conversation to identify patterns and to try new ways of connecting and trusting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and following the client’s priorities so each session feels focused on what matters to the person right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and teaches practical tools to change them.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Cynthia will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest a plan. That plan can mix approaches and change over time as needs shift, with the therapist and client making adjustments together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions or use a shorter format for quick support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping continuity of care.
