About Cynthia
Cynthia Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and self-esteem. Cynthia also has experience helping with problems related to domestic violence, aggression, academic struggles, and parenting strain.
Cynthia uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help manage strong emotions and build tolerance for distress.
Sessions focus on concrete goals and skills. That can mean learning grounding exercises, trying new communication habits, or planning small changes that reduce daily stress. Cynthia also uses solution-focused ideas to identify what already works and build on those strengths.
She aims to help people reduce anger that shows up at home or work and to ease the build-up of resentment and frustration. Inquiries are welcomed by people who want practical ways to respond differently when they feel overwhelmed.
Cynthia’s background includes years of work with trauma, grief, and relationship struggles in Tennessee. She invites questions about how therapy might fit into a person's life and what to expect in early sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. In practice this looks like tracking reactions, testing new behaviors, and setting small doable experiments to reduce anger and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. That includes learning distress tolerance techniques, practicing grounding, and building better ways to respond in tense moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together they monitor whether an approach is helping and adjust plans based on what the person finds useful.
The therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work days, allow faster check-ins, or let them practice skills between appointments. Cynthia uses practical skill work and brief check-ins that translate well to remote sessions, and she helps clients apply techniques to real life as part of ongoing work.
