Cynthia Traylor, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Cynthia!

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a strong background in mental health, specializing in adults and the geriatric population. I’m committed to providing unbiased and effective support to help clients navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to help individuals thrive by promoting overall well-being—mentally, physically, and spiritually.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults and the geriatric population, providing compassionate and unbiased support. I help individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and grief by offering guidance and accountability. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring therapy is both appropriate and effective.

My approach

My primary approach to therapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. In addition to CBT, I incorporate Client-Centered Therapy, which is based on the belief that clients have an innate capacity for self-understanding and growth.

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, safe, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and valued. Through active listening and strong rapport-building, I provide a space for open and meaningful conversations. This supportive approach helps clients develop coping strategies, build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence

My journey to mental healthcare

I earned a bachelor's degree in social science and a master's degree in social work, providing me with a strong foundation in human development and therapeutic techniques. My dedication to this field is fueled by a deep commitment to empowering others, facilitating healing, and promoting lasting positive change in their lives.

My goals for you

My goal is to work collaboratively with you, building a strong rapport and open communication. Together, we will identify your strengths, values, and desires to set realistic and attainable goals. I use the SMART goal framework—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—to ensure your goals are clear and actionable.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where you feel safe to share your thoughts and emotions. We will begin by discussing what brought you to therapy, what you hope to gain from the process, and any specific goals or challenges you’re facing.
