Cynthia Moses , LSCSW, LCSW

Cynthia Moses is a licensed social worker practicing in Kansas and Missouri, holding LSCSW and LCSW credentials (Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker). She has provided counseling in private practice and in a variety of clinical settings, offering support to individuals, couples, families and groups across the lifespan, including children, adolescents and adults.

Her experience includes working with survivors of childhood physical and sexual abuse, people who have survived domestic violence, and clients recovering from other forms of trauma. She assists those managing grief and loss, supports emotional and anger management, and treats anxiety and panic disorders, including agoraphobia. In couples work she helps partners gain clarity about commitment, improve communication, deepen self-understanding, and rebuild trust, respect and affection.

Cynthia’s approach is warm, open and welcoming. She seeks common ground to build rapport and to normalize feelings, then partners with clients to set realistic, achievable goals and to work toward them. She believes clients often hold the answers to their difficulties but that obstacles can obscure those answers; her role is to help explore and reduce barriers so solutions become clearer. She honors the determination it takes to seek change and supports clients in moving toward improved well-being, welcoming the opportunity to work together.

Online therapeutic approaches and practical care

Cynthia integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening and unconditional respect to help clients explore their feelings and build self-awareness - it is especially helpful for people seeking validation and personal growth. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that examines the relationships between thoughts, feelings and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and panic. DBT teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships and reducing self-defeating coping patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia works with each person to identify goals, preferences and practical needs, adjusting methods over time so the treatment fits the client’s life and evolving priorities. She helps clients understand options and choose strategies that feel most workable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations, while allowing therapists and clients to tailor interaction styles to what works best for the individual.
