About
Cynthia Sarris, LCSW, brings 35 years of clinical practice to her work in Connecticut, supporting people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and the stress of life transitions. She centers care on helping individuals navigate changes in mood, self-esteem, and day-to-day coping so they can better attend to what matters in their lives.

This blend allows her to tailor sessions to immediate coping needs while also addressing deeper patterns that contribute to persistent distress.
Cynthia maintains particular focus on aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, women's issues, and challenges like isolation, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to create a supportive setting in which clients explore communication, grief, guilt, and life purpose and build practical, individualized strategies for moving forward.

Remote care and therapy options
Cynthia offers remote sessions that bring her clinical approach to video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She uses these formats to maintain continuity of care and to match the style of interaction to each person’s needs, working collaboratively to set goals and plan follow-up steps.Her work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Mindfulness Therapy supports attention to present-moment experience and complements skill-based strategies by helping clients notice thoughts and sensations without immediate reactivity.
Clients who prefer practical skill-building and a collaborative process may find this combination useful. Cynthia adapts her use of these approaches to the remote modality being used, and she and each client discuss which communication options best support their goals and the pacing of care.
