Cybele Blood , LCSW

Cybele Blood is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - with 14 years of experience in clinical psychotherapy and an earlier background running a massage therapy practice. She combines a long-standing commitment to health and wellness with training across multiple therapeutic modalities to support people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, and other concerns. Her practice emphasizes respect for diversity and social justice, and she centers the experience of being heard and honored in sessions while working collaboratively to build coping skills and a stronger daily toolkit.

Cybele offers focused support for traumatic grief and bereavement and finds particular reward in supporting other helping professionals. Her approach draws from evidence-based methods and compassion-focused work to encourage more kindness toward oneself, along with narrative and mindfulness-oriented techniques to explore deeper meaning and practical change. She also brings experience addressing issues such as addictions, intimacy and relationship concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, attention challenges, and career-related stress.

Grounded in both practical skill building and depth-oriented exploration, Cybele integrates clinical training with lived sensitivity to diverse identities and life circumstances. She works in English and has experience supporting clients across geographic boundaries, aiming to help each person develop goals and a path forward that reflect their values and strengths.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cybele brings trauma-focused therapy into online work to help people process and heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences. This approach centers on understanding how trauma affects thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers structured strategies to reduce ongoing symptoms and restore a sense of safety and agency.

She also integrates somatic therapy, which pays attention to the ways the body holds stress and emotion. By tuning into bodily sensations alongside thoughts and emotions, somatic work can support regulation and help people reconnect with their physical experience while addressing anxiety, chronic stress, and trauma-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cybele works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, combining techniques in ways that honor each client’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy with Cybele is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and continuity across locations. These options can make it easier to access therapy around work, caregiving, travel, or mobility needs and support ongoing progress even when in-person sessions are not feasible.
