She sometimes mentions her emotional support pet Major in session to lighten the mood.

Online support
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Cynthia uses approaches that help people settle distress and build clearer relationships. The Gottman Method focuses on relationship behaviors and communication patterns to reduce conflict and increase connection in day-to-day interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and helps people form more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with each person about goals, life context, and what feels most useful. Then she adapts methods from these approaches to match the clients needs rather than following a single fixed plan.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be more flexible when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging works for brief updates or ongoing coaching. These options help people connect from different time zones and varied schedules while keeping sessions practical and focused.
