About Cynthia
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with three years of experience, Cynthia Hooyman helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and life changes. She works with adults who are navigating difficult transitions or ongoing emotional challenges. Sessions are conducted in English. Cynthia does not accept international clients.
Cynthia uses a trauma-informed stance and focuses on building trust at a comfortable pace. She does not push people to disclose painful memories before they are ready. Instead she helps clients develop practical coping skills and clearer insight into patterns that cause distress.
Her work addresses specific concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, and workplace difficulties. Cynthia also supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress, isolation or loneliness, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.
In sessions clients can expect straightforward conversation and skill-building. Cynthia aims to make steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming. She pays attention to what each person can handle and adjusts the pace accordingly.
People typically begin by describing their current problems and goals. From there Cynthia and the client identify coping strategies and small, practical changes to try between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly to keep work focused and relevant.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, choose the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
The biography describes Cynthia as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques within a trauma-informed framework. Trauma-informed work focuses on recognizing how past harm affects current reactions and on moving at a pace the person can tolerate. This approach helps when anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or abuse history make direct confrontation unsafe. She also emphasizes practical coping skills and insight work. That involves teaching tools for managing worry and strong emotions, and noticing patterns in relationships or behavior that contribute to stress. These methods are useful for grief, self-esteem problems, workplace stress, and life transitions. Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as needed so work stays relevant and manageable. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography did not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people work from a quieter place when possible or use phone-only time when video is not preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based techniques to work effectively across different formats, and Cynthia will discuss practical options when you arrange your first appointment.Sheet 3
