01About Cynthia
Cynthia Marcolina greets visitors with a calm, collaborative style. She is a licensed professional counselor, LPC, with 35 years of experience. Cynthia focuses on helping people reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem, and manage stress through practical skills and steady support.
Her sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness strategies. She often suggests short exercises, simple writing or drawing prompts, and occasional reading to reinforce progress between meetings.
Background and approach
Cynthia frames therapy around what a person can control. She helps people notice unhelpful self-talk and replace it with kinder, more realistic thoughts. She teaches grounding and self-soothing techniques that can be used during difficult moments, with or without medication.
Her background spans many mental health settings across Pennsylvania, and she has worked with a wide range of concerns. That experience informs practical approaches to mood disorders, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She also supports people facing addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions Cynthia draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice. She invites clients to clarify values and life purpose when facing emptiness or midlife questions. The work is steady and collaborative, aimed at finding manageable steps forward.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change them into more useful ones. It often focuses on small experiments and practical skills to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering empathic reflection and support.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter or more frequent contacts when useful, and let people pick the format that feels most comfortable for different kinds of work.
