CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are in the right place at the right time, and I commend you for your courage and follow-through.
My name is Cynthia Rumford-Jones and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist (LCSW), welcome to my BetterHelp Therapist profile!
Life is pretty complex and sometimes presents us with challenges that require support and therapeutic interventions to achieve the balance and overall wellness we may desire . Today is a good day as you have taken one of the most important steps towards elevating your wellness and living a life you love; you are “taking action”.
My educational background includes a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of California, Berkeley. I have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist/counselor, and an additional 10 years working in the field of social work and human services, public and private sectors. My specialties include treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges related to life transitions, anger management, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting, and foster care.
I am also experienced in grief/loss, eating disorders, and challenges related to divorce and separation, multi-cultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and chronic mental illness.
CLINICAL APPROACHES
My therapy style is warm, supportive, interactive, and empowering. I utilize a client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy approach with a solution focused perspective, and have training and extensive experience in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Multi-Dimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC). As a conscientious therapist it is important to me to provide a safe, non-judgmental, therapeutic environment and offer a style and approach that best fits the needs of each individual.
I know finding a therapist who is a “good fit” is key to the overall effectiveness and successful outcome of therapy and the task of doing so can be quite arduous. May your mission to find that “good fit” be accomplished swiftly.
If you are ready to take the next step, I’m here and looking forward to partnering with you to create a treatment plan with specific and structured goals that meet your specific needs, as well supporting and empowering you as you strive to elevate your wellness.

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.

If you want to be in the care of an immensely experienced, marvellously professional therapist who listens to you attentively, asks the right questions, finds the best course of treatment at once, and is always there to answer your painful call and give you a magic trick that brings you back to life instantly when you can’t imagine how to live through the next thirty endless minutes of panic and suffering, do go with Cynthia! Cynthia, I'm at a loss for words to express how tremendously I am grateful to you for pulling me back on solid ground from that vast emotional abyss I was free-falling into!
Cynthia listens, engages and really gives everyone time to speak during group therapy. I've been doing it for almost a month and I really feel comfortable and HEaRD! She's a great therapist and great listener. So happy to be a client of better help!
She has a very friendly demeanor and pleasent voice I liked her from her very first greeting
Cynthia has helped me tremendously with what I’ve struggled with. Not only does she find the root to things but she is so compassionate.

Cynthia was very helpful with many extracurricular activities
Cynthia has been an amazing and helpful therapist during my time on Betterhelp. She not only helped make me feel like a person but also gave me validating and good advice. Her homework was relevant to whatever I was going through. I really am very sad to be leaving Betterhelp because she is the reason why I stayed for so long.
Cynthia has made a world of a difference in my life. The tools she gave me has taught me how to manage my depression and anger. Our talks has taught me many life lessons that are irreplaceable. I am eternally grateful for her. But it’s not only her. You must do the work on your side and I promise you’ll get better. I trust her guidance and it’s helped me loads.

Cynthia is one of the easiest people to talk to that I have ever met. She is very patient and kind and understanding. She always gives me insightful knowledge and applicable techniques that I can use daily to help myself improve so I always feel like I'm getting better! I would highly recommend her!
Cynthia is truly the best therapist i’ve ever had! She has helped me tackle so many of my issues.. issues that i’ve carried from childhood to present with really practical great advice. I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere with the therapists I worked with in the past but working with her has really felt productive, I feel like i’m actually moving forward! My depression and anxiety levels have gone down significantly, and honestly just feel so much better about myself now. She really makes you feel heard and understood and offers a really safe atmosphere to talk about subjects that have always been really difficult for me to talk about and never makes me feel judged or uncomfortable. She’s really great and i’m so happy to be receiving her help!
She is kind, respectful, and seems like she really cares.
Cynthia is excellent and helpful. I feel like I can be myself and share with her my deepest, most troubling feelings. This allows me to see things more clearly on my own.

Cynthia has helped me with my mental health beyond words. She has given me the tools to manage my issues. She is kind, understanding and attentive. All my sessions have applied to my life and have greatly helped. I cannot thank her enough.
So far Cynthia has really helped my navigate my inner and external conflicts. She is very thoughtful, knowledgeable, and honest, I feel that she truly wants to help me break through barriers and grow into a more confident individual. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with her.
A really phenomenal listener. unfortunately, I think I need something different. however I think she is a wonderful therapist with many excellent resources !! highly recommended!
I am confident in my therapist. It is important for this all to be private, from a therapist point of view and an app/legal platform point of view.
I’ve only just started my journey with Cynthia and I couldn’t be happier and more excited for the work we’re going to be doing. She has such a beautiful presence. I feel heard and important in our sessions. I am also easily able to take her heed and advice. I instantly had a respect for her and her expertise. Thank you Cynthia!
I’ve had Cynthia for about 3 weeks now and in this little time I spent with her she has helped me cope with the things I thought I couldn’t. She’s very professional and super friendly. I would 100% recommend her.
I love having Cynthia as my therapist. She is kind and very respectful.
Cynthia is amazing. I don’t know how she’s done it, but she’s really helped me get to a better place. She is kind, thoughtful, and an expert in her field. She cares for her clients deeply. It is an absolute pleasure to work with her and this has made a significant and rapid benefit on my life.
Cynthia has been amazing and so helpful. Thank you!
I like my therapist and I respect and value my therapist
She's been great so far in my limited experience with therapy :)
I’ve only had 1 session so far with Cynthia, but she is great so far! Cynthia is super friendly and caring.
I was late for my session tonight and she still made time for me to talk about my goals and what I want to get out of therapy. The phone call lasted nearly an hour. I really appreciate her taking the time out of her busy schedule to call me late and still go through with the appointment.
I felt so heard and seen immediately with Cynthia. She aligns with my goals and has practical ways to help with those goals. Very thankful for her, even after one session
Cynthia is excellent in the service she provides and I love this BetterHelp venue. Cynthia responds timely via the platform, gives me homework that helps me dive deeper, consider many things, and our sessions are insightful and helpful. So grateful; what a great partnership for growth!
