Cynthia Hooyman, LCSW

Cynthia Hooyman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with three years of experience in mental health work. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cynthia uses a trauma-informed stance and focuses on practical skills clients can use between sessions.

She pays attention to how attachment and abandonment issues affect relationships and feelings of isolation. Workplace stress, caregiver strain, and control or communication problems are also areas she addresses. Cynthia talks through patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different, manageable ways of handling those situations.

In sessions she emphasizes building trust and moving at a pace the client can handle. She avoids pushing people into discussing traumatic material before they are ready. At the same time she supports small steps that expand coping capacity and reduce day-to-day distress.

Her work includes concrete coping strategies and chances to reflect on life purpose and forgiveness when those topics are relevant. She also assists people dealing with post-traumatic stress symptoms and the practical fallout of trauma in work and home life.

Cynthia practices in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English. Her background as an LCSW informs a social-work perspective focused on practical problem solving, connections with community resources, and attention to how everyday pressures affect mental health.
