Cynthia Boyle , LPC

Cynthia Boyle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) whose practice blends clinical training with lived experience to support individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of concerns. She has maintained a private counseling practice for more than a decade, offering individual, couple, and group work while also serving in leadership roles within professional counseling organizations. Her background in addictions treatment informs a systemic approach to working with families, and she has developed particular expertise supporting children and adults on the autism spectrum.

Drawing on both professional training and personal experience as a family member of children on the spectrum, Cynthia helps clients navigate common co-occurring issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. She places a strong emphasis on building an empathetic, authentic therapeutic relationship rooted in unconditional positive regard, and she partners with each person to identify learning styles and treatment preferences.

Cynthia routinely integrates evidence-informed methods into individualized plans, using elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. For couples and partnership work she draws on research-based approaches such as the Gottman method along with emotionally focused and acceptance strategies. She has presented workshops on topics including counseling ethics, personality and autism spectrum disorders, and animal-assisted work at local, regional, and national venues.

At the heart of her practice is a commitment to helping people make meaningful changes. She values the courage it takes to enter counseling and regards the opportunity to support that process as an important professional privilege. Cynthia conducts appointments via audio-video telehealth only.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cynthia frequently employs client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where empathy and authenticity guide the therapeutic relationship. This approach helps clients feel heard and encourages personal growth by tailoring the work to each person’s values and pace.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to manage symptoms like anxiety or depression. Cognitive techniques are useful for addressing mood concerns, stress, and everyday coping challenges. In addition, elements of dialectical behavior therapy are incorporated when clients need skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Cynthia works with clients to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so therapy fits each person’s learning style and life situation. This shared decision making helps shape a treatment plan that feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. Cynthia provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best supports attendance and consistent progress. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and access therapists when it fits into daily life.
