About Cynthia
Cynthia Martinez helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship challenges. She also supports concerns like grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, anger, and issues related to sexuality and intimacy. Cynthia speaks both English and Spanish and practices in Texas as a Licensed professional counselor (LPC).
Her approach is warm and interactive. She focuses on clear, practical conversations that help people make small changes that add up. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, behavioral strategies, and values-based work to strengthen coping and emotional balance.
How Cynthia works
Cynthia has three years of counseling experience. She has worked in inpatient settings and alongside multidisciplinary teams. That background shaped her ability to handle crisis moments and to plan steady follow-up care.
She tailors each session to the person in front of her. That might mean exploring unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing grounding and breathing skills, or clarifying what matters most to guide decisions. The goal is to leave sessions with one or two steps you can try between meetings.
People come to Cynthia for many reasons, including trauma and abuse recovery, grief and end-of-life caregiving concerns, blended family stress, communication problems, and mood disorders. She avoids labels and emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical support.

Online support options
Online approaches that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small steps in that direction. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching skills to act toward values even when feelings are difficult.Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful, nonjudgmental listening. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you find your own solutions for relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, and grief.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with you about your goals and preferences and try methods that match your needs. Together you can adjust tools and strategies so they feel useful and realistic for your life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflections, or when typing helps you organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
