Cynthia Terrell

Cynthia Terrell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and grief. She brings a calm, supportive presence and listens closely to understand each person’s concerns and goals. Cynthia aims to make sessions feel like a practical, real conversation about next steps.

With 25 years of experience as a clinical social worker and school counselor, she draws on practical methods that people can use between sessions. Her work often focuses on trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and career or life transition concerns. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, first responder challenges, and the fallout from major life events like divorce or loss.

Cynthia uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness approaches. In plain terms she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and use present-moment awareness to reduce distress. She emphasizes pacing the work according to each person’s needs and comfort level.

She also addresses specific situations such as adoption and foster care, cancer-related stress, domestic violence aftermath, and issues like guilt, shame, or impulsivity. Conversations often include communication skill-building and concrete steps for coping with loneliness or isolation.

Cynthia works from New York and offers sessions in English. She encourages people to bring their real-life problems into the room so they can work toward clearer choices and manageable changes.
