About Cindy

Cindy Reyes, LCSW, offers bilingual therapy in English and Spanish for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or depression. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients name what is most pressing and take small, practical steps forward. Her approach is direct and compassionate for someone who needs clear coping tools and steady support.

With 11 years of experience, Cindy draws on work in community mental health settings. She has supported people through trauma and abuse, life transitions, and relationship strain. Her background includes work with chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and issues around attachment and abandonment.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to each person. This often means learning specific coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and trying new ways to handle intense emotions. Sessions focus on achievable goals and skills people can use between meetings.

Cindy also has experience with trauma-informed care, Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods, and immigration-related psychological evaluations. She emphasizes a collaborative, strength-based style that aims to build resilience and self-trust over time.

If language comfort matters, Cindy can meet in English or Spanish. She works from California and accepts international clients. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session based on therapist availability.

Step 3

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Online therapy can adapt well to approaches that teach practical skills and emotion regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it typically involves short exercises and homework that translate easily to online sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods concentrate on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which are taught step by step and practiced between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than assuming a single method will be right from the start.

This therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also supports continuing care when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client work toward clear, practical goals.
