About Cynthia

Cynthia Cox is a Tennessee-based licensed clinical social worker who welcomes people seeking practical support for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to offer steady, skills-focused care to help clients manage difficult moments and build coping strategies. With 11 years of clinical experience and an LCSW credential (TN LCSW 5312), Cynthia blends evidence-informed methods to match each person's needs.

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and integrates DBT skills and mindfulness practices to strengthen emotional regulation and moment-to-moment awareness. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify concrete goals and small steps toward change.

Cynthia offers a warm, straightforward approach and invites prospective clients to reach out with questions. Her practice emphasizes practical tools, clear collaboration, and steady support for people navigating life transitions or persistent difficulties.

Combining practical approaches with flexible online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more constructive patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and how different techniques feel in practice, adjusting methods as progress and needs evolve. That partnership helps tailor treatment to what actually works for the person rather than applying a single method from the start.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and varying levels of real-time interaction. These options can make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or circumstances change.
