About Cynthia

Cynthia Gladyness is a licensed therapist in Michigan with 26 years of clinical experience, practicing as an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker). She brings long-term, compassionate care to people facing a wide range of life challenges and specializes in supporting those dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and major life transitions.

Cynthia creates an inclusive, welcoming space that honors each person’s background and individual story. She works collaboratively to help clients process emotional wounds, strengthen relationships, and regain a sense of personal agency. Whether someone is navigating loss, improving communication, or facing transformative life changes, she emphasizes empathy, practical tools, and steady professional guidance.

Her practice integrates evidence-based methods with a holistic view of human experience. Cynthia draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She is particularly attentive to complex life stages, including military transitions, aging, and family dynamics, and aims to support clients as they rebuild resilience and pursue meaningful growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings arise; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers support and understanding to help clients explore their experiences and build self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress, and it can be effective for depression, anxiety, and coping with difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cynthia works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they monitor progress and adjust strategies to support meaningful change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and for shorter check-ins or ongoing support Cynthia offers live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt their approach to the online format.
