About Cynthia

Cynthia Rumford-Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of California, Berkeley and 22 years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, supportive, and interactive therapy style that focuses on empowering people as they navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Cynthia works with individuals facing relationship and family conflict, parenting and foster care challenges, grief and loss, eating and food-related issues, mood conditions such as bipolar disorder, attention concerns like ADHD, and problems with anger, self-esteem, and coping skills.

Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-informed techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing strategies. Cynthia has additional training in trauma-focused interventions and services related to foster care, and she tailors treatment to fit each person’s history, strengths, and goals. She emphasizes collaboration in creating structured treatment plans with clear, measurable goals and practical skills to support emotional balance and healthier relationships.

Cynthia practices in California and offers a professional, nonjudgmental environment aimed at helping people take actionable steps toward improved well-being. She invites prospective clients to consider therapy as a process of partnership where progress is built one step at a time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy places the person at the center of treatment, focusing on empathy, respect, and the client’s own goals. It helps people feel heard while exploring values and making choices that support wellbeing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other concerns, and teaches tools to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies to help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations. Many people find that these remote formats increase accessibility and allow them to practice new skills between sessions with support from licensed professionals and therapists.
