About Cynthia

Dr. Cynthia White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with seven years of clinical experience. She sees clients who bring concerns such as relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, depression, and attention-deficit issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.

Her approach is practical and direct. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people name emotions that are hard to put into words. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused methods when those fit the issue at hand.

In sessions she helps people talk through communication problems, guilt and shame, jealousy, and issues tied to prejudice or multicultural stress. She also addresses forgiveness and personality-related patterns that interfere with daily life. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on small steps a person can try between meetings.

Dr. White has experience working across the lifespan and describes seven years of professional practice with children, adolescents, and adults. She emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical strategies rather than jargon. Her training includes telemental health practice to offer remote sessions when that option is used.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and attachment patterns that shape interactions. In online work this means the therapist and client focus on moments of feeling and the ways they affect behavior and relationships in day-to-day life.

Client-Centered Therapy places attention on honest listening and the client’s perspective. It supports exploring what matters most to the person and clarifying goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete experiments and skills to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss how EFT, client-centered methods, or CBT might fit a person’s goals and will adjust plans based on needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps identify which tools to use in sessions.

The biography indicates experience with telemental health, but does not list every possible format. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match your life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on practical steps between appointments.
