About Cynthia
Cynthia Cox is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma. She writes and speaks plainly and aims to make sessions focused and practical for busy lives. Cynthia brings 11 years of experience as an LCSW in Tennessee.
She offers straightforward support that centers on daily routines and skills people can use between sessions. Conversations are goal-oriented and paced to fit each person’s needs.
How Cynthia works
Her approach blends methods that help change unhelpful thinking, build emotional regulation, and teach present-moment awareness. Cynthia uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness exercises and solution-focused techniques. These methods are used to address symptoms and to strengthen coping skills.
In a typical session she and the client identify one or two priorities, try practical strategies, and set simple steps to practice afterward. She often focuses on clear, usable skills for managing strong feelings, reducing worry, and handling relationship stress. People who are juggling work, parenting, or caretaking duties may find her style direct and time-aware.
Cynthia offers several online formats to fit different schedules. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
How Cynthia’s approaches translate to online care
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. Online sessions can focus on identifying specific thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and assigning brief exercises to practice between meetings.DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. In remote sessions a therapist can coach grounding techniques, role-play safer responses, and guide short mindfulness practices to use during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try methods that fit. The plan is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
