About Cynthia

Cynthia Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, and career-related struggles.

Background and approach

She also supports people navigating bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, self-esteem difficulties, and life transitions, and addresses focused areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, and forgiveness. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she brings practical experience from inpatient care and specialized programs to her clinical work.

Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental, emphasizing respect and sensitivity. Cynthia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered techniques, and mindfulness-based practices to create tailored treatment plans.

She integrates case management and crisis-intervention skills when stabilization or coordination with other professionals is needed. With three years of professional experience, Cynthia aims to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and move toward goals that matter to them.

Prospective clients are invited to take an initial step toward change by completing the intake process and scheduling sessions according to availability.

Online Therapy Approaches and What They Offer

CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life, which can be helpful for people struggling with avoidance or life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which combination of CBT, ACT, client-centered listening, or mindfulness techniques best matches their goals, preferences, and current needs, and then adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can fit into busy schedules through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, try brief check-ins between sessions, and access support from home or work when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-informed methods to these formats to help clients learn coping skills, practice new behaviors, and track progress over time.
