Cynthia Jenkins is a licensed mental health practitioner in Nebraska, carrying professional licensure as NE LMHP 1811 and bringing 34 years of clinical experience to her work. She earned a Ph.D. in Social Psychology and has applied that training to explore conflicts across social, ethnic, and political contexts in a variety of countries.
Her counseling background spans services in low-income communities as well as roles in a university counseling center. Cynthia has taught psychology at multiple universities and currently serves as an adjunct professor of psychology. In addition to classroom teaching, she prepares post-graduate students for the practical knowledge they will need to pass board exams in medicine and dentistry.
For more than 30 years she was also a licensed massage therapist, an experience that informs her holistic perspective on well-being. Cynthia’s approach to therapy is eclectic, shaped by a family background that includes diverse racial, religious, educational, social, judicial, political, and sexual orientations.
She enjoys travel and values engaging with people from a wide range of cultural and spiritual viewpoints as a way to deepen her understanding of others and of herself. Cynthia welcomes clients where they are and collaborates to explore where they are willing to go mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually so they can feel better and pursue their goals.
An advocate for the environment since childhood, she adores the outdoors and still delights in playing in the rain.
Many people ask whether virtual counseling can truly help. For typical concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, evidence indicates that online therapy can be just as effective as meeting in person.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that best fits their lives, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That variety makes it easier to schedule sessions and maintain continuity of care.
Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and if a client decides a different match would be better, switching to another therapist is always an option.
