About Cynthia
Cynthia Colean is a licensed counselor who centers sessions on each person's experience. She uses a client-centered approach to make space for what matters to the individual, and she also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques when helpful. Cynthia has eight years of professional experience and holds LCPC and LPC credentials.
She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people manage symptoms that get in the way of daily life. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse and helps with parenting challenges. Communication problems and feelings of isolation are common topics she addresses in sessions.
Her client-centered way of working means she starts by listening and following the person’s priorities. She believes clients know their own stories and have strengths to build on. Cognitive behavioral methods are used when it makes sense to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and practice different responses.
Cynthia frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions involve talking through concerns, developing practical steps, and trying small changes between meetings. She aims to make each meeting feel focused and doable.
She practices in Kansas and brings eight years of experience to the work. People looking for relief from mood concerns, parenting strain, or relationship stress can expect straightforward discussion and skills they can apply outside the session.
How client-centered work and CBT translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding what matters to the person and following their lead. It emphasizes listening, validation, and helping people discover their strengths and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and together they will try methods that align with those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a break, continue progress while traveling, or avoid commute time.
