About Cynthia

Cynthia Moses is a licensed clinical social worker in Kansas and Missouri with three years listed experience in the current profile. She works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, ADHD, and related concerns.

She uses straightforward talk and practical goals in sessions. She listens for what is getting in the way of a client's progress and helps name small, doable steps. Cynthia emphasizes working together to set realistic targets and then practicing ways to reach them.

Her background includes experience with survivors of childhood physical and sexual abuse and people affected by domestic violence and other traumas. She has also supported clients facing grief and loss, panic and anxiety, and those working to improve communication and trust in relationships.

Cynthia draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and narrative methods. In practice this can mean looking at patterns of thinking, building coping skills, learning emotion regulation techniques, and telling or reframing personal stories to make sense of hard events.

Sessions tend to focus on clear steps the client can try between meetings. She aims to reduce obstacles that keep people from using their own strengths. That practical orientation is meant to make change feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

BHow sessions work

How Cynthia uses evidence-based approaches in online work

Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. The therapist helps people clarify goals, highlights strengths, and supports decisions about next steps. This approach aims to make sessions feel practical and relevant to daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks those patterns into specific thoughts and actions to test and change, which is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide together which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as needed.

The profile does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, and daily tasks. Phone or video can shorten commute time, reduce time away from work, and allow quicker check-ins when a brief session is useful.
