About Cynthia

Cynthia Martinez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and related struggles including parenting and intimacy-related issues. Cynthia conducts therapy in English and Spanish.

She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people notice what gets in the way of daily functioning. Sessions focus on learning small skills that can be practiced between meetings. Cynthia draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and mindfulness exercises to address unhelpful thoughts and to manage intense feelings.

Her background includes work in inpatient treatment settings and programs for women and older adults. That experience shaped how she approaches crisis situations and short-term stabilization. She has also worked with multidisciplinary teams and with people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Cynthia combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods alongside CBT and mindfulness techniques. That mix aims to increase present-moment awareness, clarify personal values, and build concrete behavior changes. In sessions she will talk through goals, try practices together, and adjust plans based on what helps.

People seeking help for family problems, parenting stress, or caregiving strain will find practical options discussed during early sessions. She also addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, and issues such as guilt, shame, or body image in focused work. The first meetings typically involve a short assessment and a plan for the next steps.

Approaches used for remote sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It focuses on concrete techniques such as thought records and behavioral experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values. ACT uses acceptance and mindfulness practices alongside behavioral changes to address avoidance and worry.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that includes checking progress between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other responsibilities. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the available formats.
