About Cynthia
Cynthia Collins-Jackson helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of practice and brings a direct, compassionate approach to sessions. Her manner is warm and often includes a touch of humor to ease difficult conversations.
Clients meet someone who listens and looks for realistic steps forward. Cynthia draws on tools from CBT and DBT to teach ways to manage intense emotions and change unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
She also uses EMDR for trauma-related memories and the Gottman Method for relationship work when appropriate. Her background includes time working in inpatient psychiatric settings and in mobile crisis outreach. That experience shaped how she responds to high-stress situations and safety concerns.
She also has experience addressing mood and personality disorders and supports people coping with grief, addiction, and impulsivity. Cynthia describes her role as helping people see their own strengths. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and small changes that add up.
She emphasizes partnership - clients set goals and choose the pace. She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Her style is steady, approachable, and focused on usable strategies rather than long lectures.
How Cynthia's approaches translate to online care
CBT helps people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Online CBT sessions often include simple homework and brief tools you can use between meetings to track progress.DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved relationships by teaching concrete skills. In remote sessions the therapist can coach through skills practice and help you apply them to real situations as they come up.
EMDR is used for trauma-related memories and involves guided processing to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories. When done online it is adapted to the virtual setting so the therapist can guide you through the steps and monitor reactions in real time.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Cynthia discusses your goals and preferences, then recommends techniques to try together. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits each person’s needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat provides a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and changing routines.
