About Cindy
Cindy Reyes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 11 years of experience to sessions. Her approach aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for daily life.
Cindy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build concrete coping skills. Sessions focus on small, practical steps like calming strategies, behavior changes, and ways to handle painful memories.
How Cindy works
She emphasizes strength and resilience and helps clients notice what already works for them. Early in her career she worked in community mental health settings. That background shaped a direct, down-to-earth style and comfort addressing complex life problems such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of medical issues.
Her experience also includes helping people facing abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems. Cindy uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, choosing techniques that fit a client's goals and daily routine. Her work can include skill training, mindfulness exercises, and focused conversations about patterns that keep problems going.
She aims for clear, measurable progress rather than vague goals. Many clients come for help after major life changes like divorce, separation, or loss, or when long-standing patterns such as avoidance or control issues cause distress. Cindy supports practical problem solving for issues like body image, domestic violence aftermath, and the emotional effects of cancer or chronic pain.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to each client's comfort level.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches offered online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and problems like body image or communication patterns by teaching practical tools to test and reframe thoughts.Mindfulness-based and DBT-style skills teach ways to tolerate distress and regulate intense emotions. These techniques include breathing exercises, grounding practices, and short daily skills to reduce reactivity and improve mood and focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, background, and day-to-day life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what’s helpful and what needs more focus.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people hold full conversations and use visual cues while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support more frequent check-ins, quick skill reminders, and a flexible way to stay connected between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and varied schedules.
