About Cynthia
Cynthia Williams is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 29 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, and depression and supports people facing relationship issues, grief, and behavioral concerns. She also lists areas such as attachment issues, isolation, and obsessions and compulsions among her focus areas.
She draws on approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, DBT, emotionally-focused techniques, and mindfulness. Sessions begin with an intake and assessment to identify strengths, needs, and goals. From there she and the client build a practical plan with clear steps to try between meetings.
Her background spans inpatient psychiatry, outpatient settings, schools, and courts, giving her experience with a wide range of situations. She combines insight-oriented psychotherapy with shorter solution-focused counseling and life coaching when those fit the client's aims. That mix lets her move between deeper exploration and concrete skills practice.
In session she may use mindfulness exercises, skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation, and emotionally-focused techniques to look at patterns in relationships. The work tends to be straightforward - noticing patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and checking what helps in day-to-day life.
People can expect an approach that looks at both thoughts and behavior, alongside attention to attachment and relationships. Cynthia accepts clients in Michigan and works in English, and international clients are accepted as noted in her profile.
How Cynthia’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions; online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and goals, letting the client lead what to talk about while the therapist listens and reflects. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, often with short practical exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as skills develop and new priorities emerge.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or reducing the need to be on camera for every meeting. It also supports using mindfulness or DBT skill practice in the context of daily routines, so exercises can be tried between sessions and discussed at the next meeting.
