Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Licensed Counseling or Therapy care with Cynthia MS:
- What's the difference between a Counselor, a Psychologist, and a Psychiatrist?
- A counselor, like me, provides talk therapy with a Master's degree. A psychologist has a doctorate and specializes in therapy and testing. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication.
- What actually happens in a therapy session?
- A typical session is a safe and confidential conversation where you'll talk with Cynthia about your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. She will listen without judgment, help you develop coping skills, and offer new perspectives. This collaborative process is focused on helping you reach your goals.
- What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
- CBT is a common and effective type of talk therapy where Cynthia helps clients identify, challenge, and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It's a hands-on approach teaching practical skills to better manage issues like anxiety, stress, and depression.
- Do I have to have a major 'problem' to go to counseling?
