About Cynthia
Cynthia Jenkins is a licensed mental health practitioner (LMHP) with 34 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, mood disorders, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting strains, career questions, and issues tied to identity and multicultural concerns.
Cynthia draws on an eclectic blend of approaches to match each person's needs. She listens first and lets the conversation guide the work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and meaning - helping people manage symptoms while also looking at what gives their life purpose. Her background includes counseling in community centers and university settings and teaching psychology at several Midwestern universities. That mix of community work and academic experience shapes a down-to-earth style that values real-life solutions and self-reflection.
Cynthia uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address thinking patterns, coping skills, and emotional regulation. She also brings existential and Jungian perspectives when questions of meaning, identity, and life purpose arise. This allows exploration of both practical behavior change and deeper life questions.
Clients can expect a calm, curious practitioner who encourages honest talk and gradual steps. She often weaves creative and life-story elements into sessions when helpful. Cynthia believes therapy should fit a person’s pace and aims to help people move toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and meaning
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and purpose; it helps when people feel empty, stuck in life transitions, or unsure about direction. Client-centered therapy centers on being heard and accepted; it helps people build insight and self-acceptance by following their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and many daily stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining practical CBT tools for symptom relief with existential conversations about life purpose and meaning.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and movement-based exercises when useful. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for focused check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, share short updates, or have a brief check-in when time is limited. These options make therapy more accessible for different schedules and comfort levels.
