About Cynthia
Cynthia Sierra is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and an LICSW licensed in Alabama with 17 years of clinical experience. She provides individual counseling for adults and older adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her work focuses on practical, everyday concerns. She helps people sort through emotions, manage stress, and make decisions during transitions. She also offers Christian counseling for clients who want faith to be part of their sessions.
Cynthia uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people set short-term goals they can try between sessions. Cognitive and behavioral techniques are used when helpful to challenge unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep work grounded and action-oriented. Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about making changes or who want help finding the next step. The aim is to find realistic strategies that fit each person’s life.
Cynthia has spent nearly two decades supporting adults and older adults through caregiving strain, aging-related issues, and shifts in life purpose. She helps with communication problems and explores multicultural and women’s issues when those topics matter to the client.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals and expectations can be discussed.

How Cynthia Uses Practical Therapies Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It is useful when someone needs to organize feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change thinking and routine.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their situation and adjusts them as progress is made.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, fewer travel demands, and the ability to use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Remote work can also make it simpler to continue care during life transitions. If technical or format questions matter, those are reviewed during the initial scheduling steps so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
