About Cynthia
Cynthia Roe is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 30 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.
Background and approach
She focuses on practical, skills-based work for concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, mood dysregulation, addictions, and issues related to LGBT identities. Her practice also extends to relationship and family difficulties, grief and caregiving stress, parenting and attachment concerns, and the emotional impact of serious illness including cancer.
Her style blends evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral therapy with attachment-based and client-centered approaches, tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Cynthia emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients build coping strategies, improve communication, and address patterns that maintain distress.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they take the often-difficult step toward greater well-being. Cynthia conducts sessions in English and practices across California as CA LCSW LCSW18238.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is organized around identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotion regulation, and it helps people explore and revise those patterns to improve connections and coping. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to set the pace and direction of work while the therapist offers support and reflection.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia frames treatment planning as a collaborative conversation and will help clients determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, needs, and personal preferences rather than prescribing a single path up front.
Online therapy with Cynthia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, skills training, and ongoing support across a variety of concerns.
