About Cynthia

Dr. Cynthia Yamokoski helps people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. She is an Ohio psychologist with 15 years of experience and often supports people facing panic, obsessive thoughts, prolonged grief, and challenges after traumatic events.

Her sessions focus on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people feel and act. She uses practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also uses trauma-focused approaches when past events are keeping someone stuck.

Dr. Yamokoski prefers time-limited methods that follow a clear plan. Before starting any focused treatment, she explains the options and works with the person to choose the best path. This shared decision process helps set realistic goals and a clear timeframe.

She has worked with survivors of many kinds of trauma, including first responders, combat-related stress, accidents, and sexual assault. Her experience spans clinical work and research, which she draws on to keep care practical and straightforward.

People who come to her can expect direct but compassionate guidance, step-by-step strategies, and regular check-ins on progress. She invites people to talk about what matters most to them and to build skills that fit daily life.

How CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Work Online

Dr. Yamokoski uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them in real life, and building new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, or compulsive urges.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address symptoms that follow frightening or traumatic events. This approach gently helps people process difficult memories and reduce how much those memories interfere with day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then work together to pick an approach that fits. That collaboration guides how sessions are structured and what techniques are used.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use different tools during a session, such as worksheets or guided exercises, to practice skills between meetings.
