About Cynthia
Cynthia Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on several practical therapy methods to help clients cope with life changes and emotional pain. Her style is warm and interactive.
Sessions focus on clear goals, straightforward tools, and gentle exploration of feelings and behavior. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.
Background and approach
In practice she often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people notice painful emotions while moving toward valued goals. Mindfulness practices are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity.
Cynthia brings three years of counseling experience and has worked in inpatient settings and with multidisciplinary teams. That background informs how she responds to crisis, caregiver stress, and complex emotional needs. She also has experience supporting people after trauma and abuse.
Sessions may address family-of-origin issues, parenting strain, body image and self-esteem, codependency, forgiveness, and end-of-life concerns. She tailors each plan to the individual and adjusts pacing and techniques to match what a person needs in the moment.
Online approaches that help with anxiety and stress
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, while helping a person take actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve mood; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods over time. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflections, and between-session contact when that format suits someone's routine.
