About Cynthia

Dr. Cynthia White is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Mississippi. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials and brings seven years of counseling experience to her work. Cynthia focuses on trauma and abuse alongside relationship strain, parenting concerns, depression, and ADHD. She sees children, adolescents, and adults and offers help with common struggles such as grief, anger, and family conflict.

Her sessions aim to be welcoming and straightforward. She creates space for people to talk through hard feelings and to name what matters most to them. Cynthia emphasizes practical steps and clear goals so progress feels tangible from week to week.

Her approach blends a few well-known methods. Client-centered ideas guide how she listens and responds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Trauma-focused work is used when past harm keeps affecting daily life.

Cynthia also uses emotionally focused ideas to address closeness and communication problems. Solution-focused methods help set small, doable goals when a quick change is the priority. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

People who choose Cynthia typically want a calm, practical therapist who talks plainly. She encourages honest conversation about guilt, shame, multicultural stress, and prejudice. Her style aims to help clients build clearer communication and steadier coping skills over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood; online sessions can replicate this by focusing on clear, empathic responses and pacing conversations to match each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises and experiments; that work often fits well into online sessions because homework and worksheets can be shared and reviewed together. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past harm affects current behavior and uses gradual, supportive steps to process difficult memories or reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and comfort with different techniques and will adjust methods as needed. Clients often try a few approaches in early sessions to see what feels most helpful.

The biography documents experience with telemental health, but specific session formats may vary, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using tools and worksheets between sessions to build skills in everyday life.
