About Cynthia
Cynthia Canales is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Cynthia also addresses grief, sleep problems, career questions, compassion fatigue, and relationship or family concerns.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and strategies that fit daily life. Cynthia listens for what is getting in the way of routines, work, rest, and relationships, and then helps identify small, manageable steps forward.
She brings experience working with substance use and process addictions alongside mood and anxiety concerns. That background informs how she supports coping skills, relapse prevention thinking, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.
Cynthia also helps people navigating caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, immigration-related strain, and family of origin patterns. She pays attention to attachment and communication problems that show up in adult relationships.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish. Because her practice uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time, session costs vary with location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches for stress, mood, and addiction work online
Therapies that focus on behavior change and practical coping are often helpful for the concerns Cynthia treats. Cognitive-behavioral informed work helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It is useful for sleep problems, worry, and low mood.Skills-based addiction work emphasizes identifying triggers, building relapse prevention plans, and rehearsing alternative responses to urges. That approach supports both drug and alcohol concerns and process addictions such as gambling or problematic internet use.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will work with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with short-term skills work and shifting to deeper problem-solving over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and options like phone or video can be chosen to suit bandwidth, comfort with being on camera, or the need for a quicker appointment.
