Licensed to practice in Texas and accepts 36 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Coping Skills, Peer Relationships and 1 more.
My name is Cynthia Scott and I have been an individual therapist for over 15 years. I work with individuals looking for help in feeling more confident and more in control when problems arise. I am an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and have authored a book called "When Anxiety Attacks", so I am trained in working with anxiety and depression. Working with difficult relationships can be very rewarding for my clients. A good place to start is finding a therapist that is experienced and that you can trust.
Many people are anxious about that first session....that is really normal. We all worry about trying something new. But I can promise it is easier than you think and you will leave feeling "Wow, I feel better, I'm glad I finally called". What were you concerned about the day you called, what was concerning you that day is what I want to hear about in this session. Sometimes family and friends are not the best people for all our confidences. And that doesn't diminish their importance it is just finding the best person that can help you.
Listening and problem-solving are two of my best skills. I enjoy working with “high‑functioning adults who feel overwhelmed but don’t want traditional therapy language” . I also like working with “working with clients who feel stuck between responsibility and self‑preservation” Life is stressful at times and having a trusted person to help you to a better place is a good place to start.
These are my perfect clients... You’re successful, capable, and outwardly composed—but privately, it’s difficult. You may be navigating anxiety, relationship stress, or burnout that’s hard to share with friends or family. Even with strong social networks, it’s easy to feel isolated when your struggles don’t match your image. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep carrying this alone. I specialize in helping high-functioning professionals find relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Figuring out who to trust and who to be careful around is a wonderful skill to work on as well. Together, we’ll create space for new ideas and solutions that feel right. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, confident, and clear, I'm here to help.

Interpersonal
I enjoy helping clients discover their strengths and ways they can improve the outcomes of their efforts and become more successful in reaching their goals. I have very good luck helping people making small behavioral changes and slight changes in perspectives that bring them successful outcomes. I am very good with problem solving using these techniques, as I believe no problem we have is beyond our reach to solve, if we have a better roadmap the solution becomes easy. I trust my client's perceptions and emotions and understand they are in front of me because they feel they have exhausted their ideas, asking for another opinion or suggestion is the first step. A good step! Having an experienced trained partner can make for a great collaboration.
Strength-Based
I enjoy working with clients that have problems with anxiety, however I find that "doing things" differently is a wonderful addition because changing our thinking can take time. Adding a small behavioral change brings quicker results and my clients immediately use the solution in other areas.
Eclectic
I have many tools at my disposal to help my gain access to their goals, I chose what method based on my client's presentation of their needs. I find my success with my clients happens quickly.
Psychoeducation
I use this approach with clients that are dealing with a narcissistic family member. Dealing with narcissism is confusing and devastating to a relationship unless you have tools and information to help and support you. It isn't impossible to do on your own but difficult and exhausting.
