About Cindy

Cindy Reyes, LCSW, is a bilingual therapist who speaks English and Spanish. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and depression. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more capable in daily life.

Cindy has about 11 years of clinical experience working in community mental health settings. That work exposed her to many life challenges people face, including relationship strain, major life changes, and the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. She uses practical skills people can try between sessions.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. Cindy helps clients identify goals, learn coping tools, and practice small changes that add up. She describes sessions as supportive and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on building resilience and clearer thinking.

Cindy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to each person’s needs. Examples include strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and skills to manage strong emotions. She also integrates trauma-informed perspectives when past harm affects current functioning.

Clients can expect work on problem solving, emotion regulation, and communication patterns. Cindy often pairs skills practice with goal setting to track progress. She welcomes people who want practical steps toward greater self worth and emotional balance.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Evidence-based techniques often focus on changing patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood. It uses simple exercises and homework to build different habits over time.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance. It teaches concrete tools for calming down, handling conflict, and making clearer choices when emotions run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That choice can change as people try strategies and see what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life, keeping appointments during travel, or having shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing, pace, and the kinds of exercises you want to focus on during sessions.
