Cynthia Rumford-Jones, LCSW

Cynthia Rumford-Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, parenting questions, bipolar disorder, and attention difficulties. Cynthia also addresses adoption and foster care matters and other family origin and communication problems.

She learned social work at the University of California, Berkeley and has decades of experience in public and private human services. That background informs how she approaches practical problems and complicated family situations. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps rather than vague talk.

Cynthia uses client-centered methods along with cognitive behavioral techniques. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and impulsive behavior. Motivational interviewing helps when a person needs to find the reason to change and stick with it.

People can expect a collaborative style that aims to identify specific problems, set measurable goals, and practice skills between meetings. She works on communication, anger management, and coping during life changes. Therapy can include structured exercises, problem-solving, and brief skills practice.

Her work includes grief, eating and food-related concerns, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and challenges tied to prejudice or multicultural stressors. Cynthia also brings experience with foster care and adoption-related difficulties and with long-term mental health conditions.

For someone juggling work, family, or health demands, her approach emphasizes practical steps that fit everyday life and clear plans to track progress.
