Hi, My name is Cindy. Thank you for looking at my profile.
Before I tell you about my experience and education, I would like to tell you a little bit about my approaches to counseling. First and foremost, please know that your healing and your journey is important to me. Therefore, along the way I will ask you if my approaches are working for you and if you are comfortable with them. I will also welcome your feedback at any time as well. That being said, I am trained in both traditional and non-traditional counseling techniques. I like to use both. I am formally trained in Client Centered ( Carl Rogers ) techniques. These techniques are designed to help you feel heard and have your feelings validated. Please know that you deserve this. I also have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which focuses on ways in which your thinking may be causing you stress/distress.
I love a holistic approach to therapy, therefore, I received extra training in the Expressive Arts. This may sound scary to those of you who are not artists, but being an artist has nothing to do with expressive art. Expressive art is a means of expressing yourself and discovering your true inner feelings, inner voice and inner power. Instead of just talking about your issues/concerns, I would encourage you to draw them, paint them, dance them out, write them out,. etc. Whatever feels comfortable for you. The whole point of these modalities, is to move blocked energy (issues) out of your body which holds memory. Memories are not just stored in your brain. The body remembers and the body reacts. Especially to trauma. But you don't have to have been traumatized to benefit from these techniques. Expressive Art can help you with self esteem issues, depression, anxiety, motivation, life decisions, career choices, eating disorders and sleeping problems. No one ever has to see your artwork or see you move in an expressive and meaningful way.
I also love and have experience with Inner Child Work. It is very effective and not at all scary.
Ideally, I like to combine both traditional therapies with some form of the Expressive Arts. They reinforce each other. But, ultimately, it is up to you and what works best for you. I also like to teach various powerful visualizations.
I received my Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts in January of 2001. I became licensed in 2007. I received a Certificate in The Facilitation of Expressive Arts from Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island in 2007. I have over 22 years of experience working with both men and women and with families and children of all ages.
I look forward to working with you.
Thank you and Namaste, (the spirit in me honors the spirit in you)

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Cynthia has been amazing and has helped me in so many ways thru my traumatic childhood experiences and current relationship issues. She is extremely knowledgeable and very down to earth and easy to talk to. She goes above and beyond each week and I am very thankful for her.

Cynthia is wonderful. She is great at adapting to what I need as her client and gives a lot of options on how to work on my problems.
Cynthia is supportive, insightful and informative with her counseling. She really listens and brings a calming approach to finding ways to manage problems and cope with stress, anxiety and other areas. I am so appreciative for her help!
Sessions with Cindy are always helpful. She has given me many suggestions and resources that always bring me to a better understanding of my situation. She has a way of giving me things to think about that allow me to feel like I DO have the strength to deal with my situation. Before speaking with her, I felt helpless and weak. She has convinced me that I am stronger than I think.
After working with Cynthia for a couple of months, I was able to feel incredibly comfortable with her. She gives honest advice, and is a candid person which makes her very easy to relate to. Cynthia helped me deal with some life changes I had been struggling with, all while offering objective thoughts and probing me to think about situations differently. I’ve enjoyed my conversations with her, and she has been a positive addition during so many changes!
Very kind and gives great advice! Highly recommend :)
I have really enjoyed working with Cynthia Robinson! I have had multiple therapy experiences in person, and I am really enjoying my sessions! She uses a number of different approaches including the expressive arts and CBT, all of which I have found incredibly helpful. She is very responsive to messaging and available for phone sessions. I like how we can opening discuss my goals, progress, and reasons for wanting therapy. I am excited to see my personal growth as I continue to work with her!
I feel so grateful to have Cynthia to listen, advise and guide me through these last few months following my husbands affair and the end of my 20 year marriage. Her support and reassurance helped me immensely during this process. She helped me not only with the emotional support but guidance in how to move forward. I cannot thank her enough for her empathy and support during this time.
I have been working with Cynthia now for a couple of years (on and off, time depending for me), and she is always there for me with a prompt and helpful reply. Thank-you, Cynthia!
Cynthia has quickly become one of my closest confidantes and advisors in the world of relationships and general mental health. When I had a natural fear that I would be judged or poorly advised, she's always been there in a neutral but validating and positive way. She checks in with me often and makes me feel like I'll always have that support from her, no matter what. I'm so happy to have found her.
Cynthia Robinson is so helpful and makes me feel better. She gives good advice and she’s an excellent listener. She remembers everything I tell her and she’s very positive. I feel comfortable talking with her and I feel like talking to her has helped me find new ways to deal with things that bother me.
Cynthia is wonderful. She was the first counsellor Better Help recommended for me and I liked her right away. She responds very quickly, listens to everything I have to say, and seems to understand what's important to me in my life and how to integrate that in my healing. I really noticed an improvement in my emotional and mental health.
Cynthia is fantastic. A best friend with a Masters degree. She’s honest and open-minded and uses a variety of different therapeutic techniques to help me out. She’s the best!
I am appreciative that Cynthia took time and care with my particular issues. I definitely did not feel like I was receiving 'standardized' therapy.
Cynthia is the best. She goes the extra mile when possible and is fully supportive.
She takes the time to respond as soon as she can. She lets me know when she’ll be away for a few hours. She responds to all my problems and concerns and provides a variety of options I can try
Extremely friendly, sincere, caring and puts her clients first. Very knowledgeable and helps you see things in a different view. Made my life a lot better and is there for you.
Cynthia has shown me new ways of dealing with my problems that seem to really help me. She not only listens, but understands my situation, and that has been really helpful.
Cynthia has taught me useful skills to listen and connect with people at a time when I feel disconnected and separated.
She listens, is understanding, helpful, and gives you practical ways to start on the road to healing. She checks with you and makes sure it’s what will suit you best before you move forward. If a couple days go by and I haven’t written her back she checks in which I really appreciate!
Super attentive to my every need and always offers great solutions that helps me and my husband progress in our marriage. Highly recommend!
Always so attentive and finds ways to resolves issues without conflict.
Cynthia is an invaluable help to me. She has had great patience with me in my hardest moments. And her meditation exercises have being very revealing in my life experiences.
She is of great help! She answers fast ! She really takes the time to understand what you are trying to say and gives competent advice. Strongly recommend her!
Cindy has a very balanced approach between cognitive/intellectual theories and the more spiritual/artistic side. Incorporating both of these has really helped me work through my issues. Cindy was so warm and friendly, and provided great feedback to me, both in our written messages and over voice conversations. I would highly recommend her.
I was extremely lucky to be able to talk about my issues with Cynthia. She is a very clever and insightful person; she understood quickly what was causing problems and what needed to be done. With the helpful tools and advice she provided, I was able to get better much faster than I would have been able to on my own. I would absolutely recommend her!
Very helpful
Cynthia is a very good therapist- always available ready to listen, she analyses carefully what the issues are, and gives helpful advice. She helped to find where the real problem was that prevented me to move forward in life.
Cindy is a wonderful and understanding person to talk to. All I needed was probably an outsider to hear me and give me their unbiased point of view and that’s what she did. I needed to talk to someone, share my problems and see if actually there’s another human being who gets my problems or I’m going insane. I’m grateful for her advice and the time she took to read my messages. I’m also impressed by the fact that she assessed the situation accurately and helped me make a decision regarding quitting or not counseling. When you don’t need it anymore or at all, she’s got the integrity to say so and not keep you there just so that you keep paying for the service.
Cynthia has been exactly what I needed. She absorbed lots of information quickly, was the witness I needed to my getting in touch with my emotions and expressing them and provided practical tools to move forward with the issues I wanted to discuss. She adapted her approach as needed and asked insightful questions that helped me to see new perspectives. In 3 weeks I have moved forward on the issue I wanted help with and feel much more confident about dealing with it in the future.
It was a pleasure meeting Cynthia. She helped to understanding my feelings, gave me practices to do in the future, instantly got connected with me, and understood me from thousands of miles away. I'm most grateful for her insights and the conversations we had. Thank you!
Cynthia was extremely helpful, attentive, and supportive. She responded to messages quickly and offered excellent and practical advice to ease my anxiety and help with sleeping troubles. After just a few weeks of counseling with her, I've noticed significant improvements in my physical and mental health. Thank you!
This system is awesome! I can't believe this wasn't allowed sooner.
I have only been working with Cynthia for 3 days, but I feel sooo much better already. She replies quickly and often, she reads my messages carefully, and she gives me thoughtful insights on my situation. I feel like she cares. Moreover, she can detect things I didn't even tell her, which is really helpful.
Cynthia has been incredibly helpful at getting me to understand the root of my issues. She is non-judgmental, she is insightful, and she is thoughtful. Thank you so much for your help.
Listens and responds well with care and knowledge that really helps. Her insights are accurate and she's always willing to work with you if you don't agree with her views or approach. I would definitely recommend her!
I feel so lucky that I got placed with Cynthia. She has helped me so much. Unlike other therapists I've had that just listen to your problems, she actually gives you tools to fix them.
Cynthia has been more than kind with me. She seems loyal and wise with the choice of her words. She can go far with the help she has given.
I love how she checks up on me. I have a pretty crazy life at the moment but she is the constant and is very understanding and helps me consider a lot in trying to help with my issues.
Cindy, is a very comforting counsellor. She really tries to understand your problem and gets to the core of it and advises tailored exercises that would help in uplifting and improving whatever that you are going through. You can tell her and talk to her about anything without being judged or having the feeling, you don't have to think twice. I have built a good understanding foundation with Cindy and only hope to go further and improve more with her abundant help.
Cynthia has been amazing! She's helped me see things in a different perspective and helped me cope with my new life and direction.
Cynthia is an excellent counselor! She is honest, insightful, intelligent and extremely easy to share information with. The advice and feedback she gives me makes me feel like she must be a long lost friend. It has helpful impact right away, and also always leaves lasting, thoughtful impressions on me. It's clear she thinks deeply about our sessions and cares greatly about my well being. She is an absolute positive force in my life!
Very understanding and helpful! It's definitely worth talking to Cynthia!
Cynthia's insight and experience have helped me tremendously in a very short time. I know I can be honest about my eating behaviors without any judgment, and when I backslide a bit, she has helped me keep perspective and encouraged me to keep moving forward. The meditation and affirmation exercises she prescribed have helped me to relax and let go of some of my anxiety and self doubt. It's nice to know that with my busy schedule, I can write to Cynthia when I have time, and she replies promptly. This method of therapy is much better for me since I have always had a hard time fitting appointments into my schedule. She's been wonderful to work with!
She is very easy to talk to and actually works on tailoring her approach to what works for you.
Cynthia understands me very easily and very well despite it being a complex past i mentioned she understood quickly why I would be the way I am now. She is always available and speaks to me a lot which makes me feel like I can really depend on her. She's done a lot for me and Id like to thank her for everything.
She has done an amazing job. When I first talked with her she replied back, and it seemed like she knew exactly how I am. She knew me. Well she rather helped me through very tough times and its only been a month. She has helped build me up, I don't regret any of our conversations. She gives her opinion with seeming it like shes telling me what to do. I have felt more in charge of my life, been able to defend myself a lot better. My mind has been incrediably clear! Thanks Cindy!
